Takeaways

• 😀 The recipe demonstrates how to make pempek dos, a type of Indonesian fish cake, without using fish, making it suitable for vegetarian diets.
• 😀 The key to making soft and chewy pempek dos is in the biang preparation, which involves cooking a flour mixture with seasonings before adding tapioca flour.
• 😀 A combination of flour, garlic powder (or fresh garlic), MSG (or mushroom seasoning), and salt is used to create the biang, which adds flavor to the dough.
• 😀 It's important to add water gradually while mixing the biang to ensure the correct consistency and avoid over-diluting the mixture.
• 😀 The addition of fried oil (minyak goreng) helps make the dough more flexible and moist, contributing to the soft texture of the pempek.
• 😀 After cooking the biang, it's allowed to cool before mixing in egg and tapioca flour, preventing the dough from becoming too dense.
• 😀 The tapioca flour should be added gradually to the cooled biang mixture, and the dough should be kneaded by hand to achieve the right texture – soft and elastic, not sticky.
• 😀 The dough can be shaped into various forms, including lenjer (long rolls) and pempek telur (egg-filled pempek), with the egg added inside the dough before cooking.
• 😀 When making egg-filled pempek (pempek telur), the egg is mixed with a little salt and optional yellow food coloring before being placed inside the dough.
• 😀 The pempek is first boiled until it floats, which indicates it is cooked, and then it can be fried for a crispy exterior. The video emphasizes that pempek should not be stacked before boiling to avoid leakage.
• 😀 The final pempek has a soft and chewy texture, which is highlighted by the presenter’s tasting and dipping it into a sour vinegar-based sauce, showcasing its perfect flavor and texture.

Q & A

What is the main ingredient in Pempek Dos?

The main ingredient in Pempek Dos is all-purpose flour, which is used in place of fish to create the dough.

Can I use fresh garlic instead of garlic powder in the recipe?

Yes, fresh garlic can be used instead of garlic powder. You can crush 2-3 cloves of garlic to achieve a similar flavor.

What purpose does Masako chicken stock powder serve in the recipe?

Masako chicken stock powder adds a savory, umami flavor to the dough. It is optional and can be substituted with mushroom stock if preferred.

Why is it important to cook the biang (starter mix) over medium heat?

Cooking the biang over medium heat ensures that the flour mixture thickens properly without burning. It helps to achieve the desired texture for the dough.

How can I ensure that the biang mixture doesn’t absorb too much sago flour?

It’s important to allow the biang to cool before adding the sago flour. This prevents the mixture from absorbing too much flour, resulting in a softer, more tender texture.

What is the benefit of adding vegetable oil to the biang mixture?

The vegetable oil makes the biang mixture more flexible, moist, and easier to work with, helping to create a smoother and more elastic dough.

How do you know when the pempek is fully cooked during boiling?

The pempek is fully cooked when it floats to the surface of the water. After floating, continue boiling for 5-10 more minutes to ensure it’s thoroughly cooked inside.

Can I skip frying the pempek after boiling it?

Yes, frying is optional. If you prefer a softer texture, you can skip frying and serve the pempek directly after boiling.

How do I prevent the pempek from sticking together while boiling?

Adding a small amount of vegetable oil to the boiling water helps prevent the pempek from sticking together.

What is the purpose of adding yellow food coloring to the egg filling?
