Cireng
Posted by Lisa on Saturday, December 23, 2006. Filed under: Snacks, Traditional Indonesian Food
Cireng is a short name of Aci Goreng, which means Fried Aci (Kanji). Actually I'm still a little bit confused which one Aci (Kanji) is. Is it Tapioca or Sagoo starch. In this recipe, I used Tapioca for 2 reasons. First is because actually both starch are similiar. And second one is because that's the only starch I have in my kitchen... ;-p
In Indonesia, we can find this fried snacks easily in 'Tukang Gorengan' (I dont know how to translate it to English, sorry ;-p). Thats how we call someone who sells Fried Snacks in Indonesia. If you want to know the taste of this Cireng... well, just imagine how it will be when you bite a rubber... ;-p. I mean, the food is very elastic, especially when it is alerday cold. So eat them when they are stilll hot... By the way, I really enjoy chewing it when it's cold.. hehehe
100 grams Aci (kanji) --> Tapioca Starch
1 tbsp all purpose flour
75 ml water
1/2 tsp white pepper powder
1 tsp salt
1 garlic clove, pasted
30 grams soya beans, soak in water until tender
1 stick of spring onion, finely chopped.
Mix all the ingredients until well-combined. Heat oil in a pan. Deep fry 1 tbsp of the batter until become golden yellow and dry. Do it to the remaining batter. Remove from oil.
Enjoy it when it is still warm.
