Ingredients

• 250 grams Tapioca flour
• 50 grams Rice flour
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground white pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives
• 200 milliliters Hot water
• 500 milliliters Vegetable oil for frying

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine tapioca flour, rice flour, garlic powder, ground white pepper, and salt; mix well.

Step 2

Add the chopped parsley and chives to the flour mixture and stir until evenly distributed.

Step 3

Gradually pour hot water into the flour mixture while stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula until a dough forms.

Step 4

The dough will be sticky, so you may need to use your hands dusted with tapioca flour to mix it thoroughly.

Step 5

Once the dough is smooth and pliable, divide it into 12 equal portions.

Step 6

Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten slightly to form into small discs about 5 cm in diameter.

Step 7

In a deep frying pan or pot, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 160°C (320°F).

Step 8

Carefully add the dough discs into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.

Step 9

Fry each side for 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crisp.

Step 10

Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried cireng to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.

Step 11

Serve the soy-free cireng warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
