Tekwan Ikan Ekor Kuning: A Deliciously Affordable Delight
Ingredients
- 1 kg Yellowtail Fish (or any fish of your choice)
- 800 grams Sago Flour (ensure itβs sago for cooking, not the standard variety to avoid toughness)
- 1 cup Ice Water (with ice cubes)
- 3 packets Masako seasoning
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons salt (or to taste)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 5 cloves garlic, finely minced
Instructions
-
Prepare the Fish Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, add the ground yellowtail fish. Incorporate the eggs, Masako seasoning, sugar, minced garlic, and a little of the ice water. Stir until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
-
Combine with Sago Flour: Gradually add the sago flour to the fish mixture. Be gentle while mixing; the goal is to combine the ingredients without overworking the dough. If the mixture feels too stiff, add more of the ice water gradually until you achieve a soft yet manageable texture.
-
-
Test the Consistency: The final mixture should not be too soft or too firm. It should feel slightly sticky to your hands but hold its shape. If you’re unsure, take a small amount and cook it in boiling water to test the flavor and texture.
-
Shape and Cook: Using your hands, pinch off small portions of the mixture and form into bite-sized balls. Gently drop these into a pot of boiling water that has been enhanced with 2 tablespoons of oil. Cook until the tekwan floats to the surface, indicating they are done.
-
Serve: Once cooked, remove the tekwan from the pot and let them drain. They can be enjoyed on their own or served with a dipping sauce or in a broth for a comforting meal.
