Sate Telur Recipe: Indonesian Egg Skewers
Sate telur, or Indonesian egg skewers, are a delightful and savory snack that’s both simple to prepare and delicious. Here’s how you can make these crispy, golden treats that are perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- Salt, to taste
- Ground black pepper, to taste
- Water, as needed
- 1/2 tablespoon tapioca starch (sago flour)
- Skewers or sticks
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them vigorously until frothy. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, dissolve the tapioca starch in just enough water to create a smooth slurry.
-
-
Combine Ingredients:
- Slowly pour the tapioca starch mixture into the beaten eggs. Stir well to combine.
- Season the mixture with salt and ground black pepper. If desired, you can also add a pinch of seasoning powder for extra flavor.
-
Heat the Oil:
- Pour enough vegetable oil into a frying pan to cover the bottom generously. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it is hot but not smoking.
-
Fry the Egg Skewers:
- Lower the heat to medium. Carefully dip the skewers into the egg mixture, ensuring the egg coats them evenly.
- Gently place the skewered eggs into the hot oil. As soon as the eggs hit the oil, start rotating the sticks to help the eggs coil around the skewer and form a cylindrical shape.
-
Cooking Tips:
- Ensure the oil is sufficiently hot and in ample quantity. The key to achieving the perfect texture is to keep the oil hot and to roll the skewers quickly after dipping them. This prevents the eggs from overcooking and becoming difficult to shape.
-
Serving:
- Once the eggs are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve warm as a tasty snack or appetizer.
Enjoy your homemade sate telur, a delightful Indonesian treat that’s sure to impress!
