Main Ingredients:
- 500 grams of mackerel fish or any white fish

- 2 cloves of garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons of water (if needed)
-
For the Sauce:
- 100 grams of vinegar
- 50 grams of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of chili sauce (optional)
Step 2: Prepare the Fish
Properly preparing the fish is crucial for the flavor and texture of your Pempek.
- Clean the Fish: Remove the scales and innards from the fish.
- Fillet the Fish: Cut the fish into fillets.
- Blend the Fish: Use a food processor to blend the fish fillets until smooth.

Step 3: Combine the Ingredients
Now it's time to combine the fish mixture with the tapioca flour.
- Add Tapioca Flour: Gradually add the tapioca flour into the fish mixture.

- Shape the Pempek: Take a small portion of the dough and shape it into a boat-like form (this is the Kapal Perang style).

Cooking the Pempek correctly ensures it has the right texture.
- Boil Water: In a large pot, bring water to a boil.
- Add Pempek: Carefully drop the shaped Pempek into the boiling water.
- Cook Until Floating: Once the Pempek floats to the surface, they are cooked. This usually takes about 10-15 minutes.
- Remove and Drain: Use a slotted spoon to remove the Pempek and let them drain on a paper towel.
Step 5: Prepare the Sauce
The sauce is essential for added flavor.
