Ingredients
- 250 g Tapioca flour
- 50 g All-purpose flour
- 200 ml Coconut milk
- 100 ml Water
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 stalks Scallions, chopped
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 200 ml Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk and water, and bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to the hot liquid, stirring to combine.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to low and slowly whisk in the all-purpose flour and half of the tapioca flour, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens and turns into a dough.
Step 4
Transfer the dough to a large mixing bowl and let it cool for a few minutes until it's safe to handle.
Step 5
Gradually add the remaining tapioca flour to the dough, kneading until a smooth and elastic consistency is achieved.
Step 6
Fold in the chopped scallions, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Scoop out about a tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball with your hands, flattening it slightly into a disc shape. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Step 8
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat until shimmering.
Step 9
Fry the tapioca discs in batches, about 2-3 minutes per side, until they are crispy and golden brown.
Step 10
Transfer the cooked cireng to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 11
Serve warm as a snack or side dish with your favorite dipping sauce.
