Instructions:
-
Prepare the Spice Paste:
Begin by making the spice paste. In a mortar and pestle or a food processor, blend together the garlic, peppercorns, and salt until you achieve a fine, smooth paste. This aromatic paste will infuse the sempol with delicious flavors. -
Combine Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken and shrimp mixture with the prepared spice paste. Add the sago flour and all-purpose flour to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are well incorporated. The mixture should be sticky enough to hold together but not too wet. -
Form the Sempol:
Take small portions of the mixture and roll them into small balls. Skewer each ball onto wooden skewers, pressing the mixture down to form a compact shape. Flatten each skewer gently to create a small, patty-like form. -
Cook the Sempol:
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Carefully place the skewered sempol into the boiling water. Cook until they float to the surface, indicating they are fully cooked. Once cooked, remove them from the pot and let them drain and cool slightly. -
Fry the Sempol:
Heat a generous amount of oil in a pan over medium heat. Dip each cooled sempol into the beaten egg, ensuring it is fully coated. Fry the sempol in the hot oil until they turn golden brown and crispy on all sides. -
Serve:
Once fried, remove the sempol from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Serve these delightful mini skewers hot and crispy. They make a perfect snack or appetizer for any gathering.
Enjoy these Mini Chicken and Shrimp Sempol as a delicious treat that’s sure to impress family and friends alike. Happy cooking! 😊
