Ingredients:

• 500 grams chicken breast, finely ground
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 8 tablespoons tapioca flour
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 stalk scallion, finely chopped
• 50 ml ice water
• 2 large eggs
• Skewers (for grilling)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken Mixture:

   • Place the ground chicken breast into a food processor. Add the minced garlic, chopped scallions, salt, sugar, black pepper, and chicken bouillon powder. Process until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

2. Incorporate the Liquid and Egg:

   • With the processor running, gradually add the ice water and one of the eggs. Blend briefly until everything is well mixed. Stop the processor and transfer the mixture to a bowl.

3. Add the Flour:

   • Stir in the tapioca flour until fully incorporated into the chicken mixture. Ensure that the mixture is smooth and holds together well.

4. Prepare the Skewers:

   • Bring a pot of water to a boil. While waiting for the water to boil, shape the chicken mixture onto the skewers. Press down firmly to flatten and create a uniform thickness.

5. Cook the Sempol:

   • Once the water is boiling, gently place the skewers into the pot. Cook until the sempol rise to the surface and are cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the water and allow to cool.

6. Fry the Sempol:

   • In a bowl, beat the remaining egg and season with a pinch of chicken bouillon powder. Dip the cooled sempol skewers into the egg mixture, coating them evenly.

   • Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the skewers in batches, turning occasionally until they are golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.

7. Serve:

   • Serve the sempol ayam hot with your favorite sambal sauce. For an extra touch, you can use the dipping sauce recipe from our previous pangsit recipe. Enjoy!

Happy cooking! 😍
