Rempejek Katjang¶

| 12 | 45 minutes |
Ingredients¶
2 cups rice flour
1 tsp ground ketumbar (coriander)
1 tsp ground kencur (aromatic ginger)
½ tsp ground djinten (cumin)
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 pinch salt
1.5 cups coconut milk
1 egg, beaten
1 Tbsp water (or more, to thin batter)
5 lime leaves, thinly sliced
2 cups oil
2 cups raw peanuts
Cookware¶
- 1 large bowl
- 1 wok
- paper towels
Instructions¶
Step 1¶
In a large bowl, whisk together the rice flour, ground ketumbar, ground kencur, ground djinten, garlic, and salt.
Step 2¶
Gradually stir in the coconut milk and beaten egg until a smooth, thin batter forms. If the batter is too thick, stir in water (or more) to thin it out. Stir in the thinly sliced lime leaves.
Step 3¶
Heat the oil in a wok over medium heat.
Step 4¶
Scoop up a small ladle of the batter and sprinkle a few raw peanuts into the ladle.
Step 5¶
Carefully pour the batter against the hot inner wall of the wok, just above the oil level, allowing it to spread into a thin disk. The hot oil will cause the cracker to naturally slide down into the center of the wok as it cooks.
Step 6¶
Let the rempeyek fry for 1 minute until it releases from the wall and slides into the oil, then turn them over and fry for another 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Step 7¶
Remove the crackers and drain on paper towels. Let them cool completely before serving.
