🛒 Ingredients

✓ 200g large prawns, peeled and deveined
✓ 150g squid rings, pat-dried
✓ 2 cups crispy shrimp crackers (krupuk), crushed into 1-inch pieces
✓ 1 small onion, thinly sliced
✓ 3 cloves garlic, minced
✓ 2 tbsp chili paste (sambal oelek)
✓ 1 tbsp sriracha
✓ 2 tsp fish sauce
✓ 1 tsp palm sugar
✓ 4 tbsp neutral oil for cooking
✓ 3/4 cup light coconut milk
✓ 1/4 cup vegetable broth
✓ 60g reduced-fat cheddar cheese, grated
✓ 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
✓ 2 tbsp Greek yogurt (0% fat)
✓ 1 egg white
✓ 1 red chili, sliced thin
✓ 2 spring onions, cut into 2cm lengths

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prep the Seafood: Pat prawns and squid rings completely dry with paper towels. This ensures proper browning and texture. Season lightly with sea salt.

2. Make the Cheese-Binder Mix: In a small bowl, whisk together egg white, Greek yogurt, reduced-fat cheddar, and nutritional yeast until smooth. Set aside.

3. Bloom the Aromatics: Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large wok or deep skillet over medium-high heat. Stir-fry minced garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant, then add sliced onion. Cook 2–3 minutes until softened.

4. Sear the Seafood: Push aromatics to the side. Add remaining 2 tbsp oil, then sear prawns 1 minute per side until just pink. Add squid rings and cook 1 minute. Don't overcook. Toss everything together.

5. Build the Sauce: Stir in chili paste and sriracha, coating seafood evenly (30 seconds). Pour in light coconut milk and broth. Add fish sauce and palm sugar. Simmer 2 minutes.

6. Add the Crackers: Toss in crushed shrimp crackers and stir constantly for 2–3 minutes. Crackers should soften slightly but retain some crunch. Texture is key to seblak.

7. Fold in the Cheese Mixture: Reduce heat to low. Drizzle the cheese-yogurt mixture over the top while stirring gently for 1–2 minutes. Cheese will melt and create creamy pockets. Do not overstir.

8. Finish and Serve: Top with sliced red chili and spring onion lengths. Transfer to serving bowls immediately while cheese is still warm and slightly gooey. Serve hot.
