Malaysian salad is also known as ' kerabu'. There are many methods of making a dish using Pegaga. U can eat it raw then it is known as 'ulam', you can make it into a healthy drink mix with honey...and add it in meats and so on...
Living in the Netherlands gives me not much choice in making my own kerabu. One morning as I was strolling along a saturday market, I found a vegetable monger that sells...Pucuk Pegaga (Pennyworth). Aha...I was so thrilled that I can finally make my own Kerabu Pucuk Pegaga.

Kerabu Pucuk Pegaga
A bunch of Pennyworth
4 Fresh red chillies - deseeded
1 inch Prawn paste (terasi/belacan)
1 1/2 cup or more of Grated coconut/ desicated coconut
A handful Dried Shrimps
1 Red Onions
Juice of 1 lime
For a different flavour you can substitute the ingredients below :-
* You can used tamarind juice instead of lime
* You can used dried anchovies (ikan bilis/ikan terie) instead of dried shrimps
Methode:
Wash and chopped the Pucuk Pegaga approximately 1 inch apart. Set aside.
Fry the coconut without oil in a pan till lightly brown and pound it fine. The process of pounding must not be too long like making kerisik (kerisik is simply pounded coconut till you get the oil out).
Coconut has to be fine in any case. Set aside.
Fry the dried shrimps without oil in a pan till you can smell the aroma. Pound it fine or grind it coarsely. Set aside.
Belacan (grilled the belacan before hand withtout oil in a pan about a minute on both sides, careful not to burn it)
Pound Red chillies and grilled belacan together till fine. The amount of red chillies depends on how spicy you want your salad to be. Set aside
Slice the red onion thinly.
In a big bowl add all of the ingredients and mix thoroughly. Add salt and sugar to taste.
Eat it with warm rice!
