Crispy Beef Brain Fritters with Egg Coating

Otak Sapi Goreng Telur: Crispy Beef Brain Fritters

Ingredients:

• 250 grams of raw beef brain
• 3 bay leaves
• 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger, smashed
• 2 large eggs
• Salt, to taste
• Ground black pepper, to taste
• Chicken bouillon powder, to taste
• Cooking oil, for frying

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Beef Brain: Begin by boiling the raw beef brain along with bay leaves and smashed ginger. Cook until the brain is thoroughly done, then drain and discard the cooking liquid. Allow the beef brain to cool slightly before slicing it into thin pieces.

2. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and beat them lightly. Season with salt, ground black pepper, and chicken bouillon powder to taste. Mix well to combine.

3. Fry the Beef Brain:

   • Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
   • Dip each slice of beef brain into the egg mixture, ensuring it is well coated. Carefully place the coated slices into the hot oil and fry until golden and crispy.

4. Double-Dip for Extra Crispiness: For a thicker, crispier coating, you can double-dip the beef brain slices. After the initial frying, return each slice to the egg mixture and fry again in the hot oil until the coating is beautifully golden and crispy. Repeat this process for an additional crispy layer.

5. Serve: Once fried to your desired crispiness, remove the beef brain fritters from the oil and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve hot with steamed rice for a delightful meal.
