Empek-empek is a processed fish, shrimp or meat dish that is shaped and then enjoyed with sauce. This dish comes from Palembang and is quite famous in Indonesia. We can find a lot of this dish now, but we can also find a lot of different recipes. Here I will prepare an economical version of empek-empek made with shrimp. You can substitute shrimp with other ingredients you like. Now empek-empek itself has several types and what I made this is empek-empek submarine, although the results are far from the professional people who make it but I am quite happy with the always delicious results of this dish.

Here I made 2 variants with egg filling, and also empek-empek without filling. Now here I will invite you to prepare the ingredients!.

Serve the empek-empek and cut it into pieces, then add the sugar sauce and cucumber on top. Serve in your best serving plate and enjoy the 3 combinations in one bite. Melting in the mouth, chewy with egg filling inside and sweet and spicy sauce is enough to make this empek empek dish delicious. The addition of fresh cucumber slices adds to the unbeatable deliciousness.

This is my first time making empek-empek with egg filling, I usually make it without. But the taste is still the same and very delicious. Now as I said, empek-empek is usually called submarine empek-empek because it is enjoyed by stirring it directly with the sauce. For those of you who want to try one of these traditional foods make it at home, you can replace shrimp with fish, meat or whatever you like.
