Ingredients
- 250 grams Tapioca flour
- 60 grams All-purpose flour
- 3 cloves Garlic, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon White pepper powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 250 milliliters Chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Sweet soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Chili sauce (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine tapioca flour and all-purpose flour. Set aside.
Step 2
In a separate saucepan over medium heat, bring the chicken stock to a gentle boil. Add minced garlic, white pepper powder, and salt to the stock. Stir until well mixed.
Step 3
Pour the hot chicken stock mixture into the bowl containing the flour mixture gradually, stirring continuously until it forms a dough.
Step 4
Allow the dough to cool slightly, then knead it gently with hands until you achieve a smooth texture.
Step 5
Once cooled enough to handle, divide the dough into small bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
Step 6
Prepare a steamer and bring the water to a boil. Arrange the dough balls on the steamer basket, leaving space between each ball.
Step 7
Steam the tapioca balls for 15 minutes or until they become translucent and fully cooked.
Step 8
While the cilok is steaming, in a small bowl, mix sweet soy sauce, ketchup, vegetable oil, and optional chili sauce to prepare the dipping sauce.
Step 9
Serve the steamed cilok hot with the sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy your nut-free Indonesian cilok!
