During our recent trip to the Philippines, we did an episode of “Evelyn’s Kitchen – Cooking with Friends” at the Mama Sita Foundation residence in Mandaluyong, Rizal on June 10.

Ulang Asado is one of the four recipes I have created to be published in Mama Sita’s recipe book. Ulang or fresh water prawn has a big head, long antennas and thorny claws. Other names of the ulang are udang, kising-kising and pahe. Its reported 15 species are native to the Philippines. Ulang are very tasty when cooked and also a good substitute for pork or beef.
