Amplang
Amplang is a traditional Indonesian snack that originates from the city of Palembang in South Sumatra. It’s a crispy and savory fish cracker or chip that is usually made from mashed fish, tapioca flour, and various spices. The mixture is then shaped into small, bite-sized pieces and deep-fried until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Ingredients
- 1 pound fish fillets (such as mackerel or tenggiri)
- 1 1/2 cups tapioca flour
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon white pepper powder
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce (optional)
- Oil for deep frying
Instructions
- Start by cleaning the fish fillets and removing any bones. Cut them into small pieces.
- In a food processor or blender, blend the fish fillets until smooth.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the blended fish, minced garlic, salt, sugar, white pepper powder, and fish sauce (if using). Mix well.
- Gradually add the tapioca flour to the fish mixture, stirring until it forms a thick dough-like consistency.
- Take a small portion of the mixture and shape it into a flat, oval-shaped cracker using your hands. Repeat this process until all the mixture is used.
- Heat oil in a deep pan or wok over medium heat.
- Carefully place the shaped amplang into the hot oil and fry them until they turn golden brown and crispy. Fry them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Once cooked, remove the amplang from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
- Let the amplang cool down before serving. They can be enjoyed as a snack on their own or paired with your favorite dipping sauce.
