Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients ready.

• Main Ingredients:

  • 500 grams of mackerel fish or any white fish
  • 200 grams of tapioca flour
  • 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.

1. Clean the Fish: Remove the scales and innards from the fish.
2. Fillet the Fish: Cut the fish into fillets.
3. Blend the Fish: Use a food processor to blend the fish fillets until smooth.
4. Mix in Seasonings: Add minced garlic, salt, and sugar to the blended fish and mix well.

Step 3: Combine the Ingredients

Now it's time to combine the fish mixture with the tapioca flour.

1. Add Tapioca Flour: Gradually add the tapioca flour into the fish mixture.
2. Knead the Dough: Mix until you get a smooth and pliable dough. If the mixture is too dry, add a little water.
3. Shape the Pempek: Take a small portion of the dough and shape it into a boat-like form (this is the Kapal Perang style).

Step 4: Cook the Pempek

Cooking the Pempek correctly ensures it has the right texture.

1. Boil Water: In a large pot, bring water to a boil.
2. Add Pempek: Carefully drop the shaped Pempek into the boiling water.
3. Cook Until Floating: Once the Pempek floats to the surface, they are cooked. This usually takes about 10-15 minutes.
4. 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.

1. Mix Ingredients: In a small pot, combine vinegar, sugar, and chili sauce (if using).
2. Heat the Sauce: Warm over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely.
3. Let It Cool: Allow the sauce to cool before serving.
