Ingredients
- 200 grams tapioca flour
- 50 grams all-purpose flour
- 300 ml water
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 stalks green onion, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon white pepper powder
- 500 ml oil for frying
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil.
Step 2
Once boiling, add the minced garlic and salt. Stir well to combine the flavors.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine tapioca flour and all-purpose flour.
Step 4
Gradually pour the hot garlic-infused water into the flour mixture, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or spatula to form a smooth, pliable dough. Be careful as the dough will be hot.
Step 5
Once the dough is cool enough to handle, add the sliced green onions and white pepper powder. Knead until the ingredients are well incorporated.
Step 6
Divide the dough into small pieces, roughly the size of a tablespoon, and shape them into flat, round discs.
Step 7
Heat the oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
Step 8
Carefully fry the cireng discs in batches until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, about 3-4 minutes per side. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 9
Once cooked, remove the cireng from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Step 10
Serve the cireng warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet soy sauce mixed with chopped chilies.
