Ekkado Ayam: A Delightful Indonesian Snack
Ingredients:
- 400 grams minced chicken
- Boiled quail eggs (quantity as needed)
- Tofu skin sheets, cut into 10×10 cm squares
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- Chives or green onions (for tying)
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- Salt, pepper, and sugar to taste
- 1 egg white
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the minced chicken with the egg white, all-purpose flour, soy sauce, salt, sugar, and pepper. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
-
Assemble the Ekkado: Lay out the tofu skin squares on a flat surface. Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture in the center of each square. Add a boiled quail egg on top of the mixture.
-
Wrap and Tie: Gently fold the edges of the tofu skin over the chicken and quail egg, forming a neat package. Secure the package by tying it with chives or green onions. Be careful not to tie too tightly to avoid tearing the tofu skin.
-
Steam the Packages: Arrange the wrapped packages in a steamer. Steam over medium heat for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the tofu skin is tender.
-
Cool and Fry: Once steamed, remove the packages from the steamer and allow them to cool slightly. Carefully remove the chives or green onions. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and fry the packages until they are golden brown and crispy.
-
Serve: Drain the fried Ekkado on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sambal or tomato sauce.
Enjoy your homemade Ekkado Ayam, a delicious Indonesian treat that’s perfect as a snack or appetizer!
