Cireng Nasi with Spicy Tempe: A Delightful Indonesian Treat

Cireng Nasi is a delightful Indonesian snack that beautifully combines rice and tempe, creating a crispy, savory treat. Served with a spicy tempe topping, it makes for a perfect appetizer or side dish for any meal. Let’s delve into the ingredients and steps to create this mouthwatering delicacy.


Ingredients

Ingredient Quantity
Cooked rice 1/2 plate
Tempeh (fried) 1 board
Tapioca flour To taste
Oil for frying As needed
Spices:
Green chilies (ground) 5 pieces
Shallots (ground) 2 cloves
Flavor enhancer (optional) 1 tablespoon
Salt To taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Rice: Start by soaking the cooked rice in hot water for about 5-7 minutes to soften it. After soaking, drain the rice well to remove excess water.

  2. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, blend the softened rice and fried tempeh until they form a slightly coarse mixture. Ensure both ingredients are well combined but still have some texture.

  3. Add Spices: Incorporate the ground green chilies, ground shallots, flavor enhancer (if using), and salt into the rice and tempeh mixture. Mix thoroughly until all the spices are evenly distributed.

  4. Incorporate Tapioca Flour: Gradually add the tapioca flour to the mixture, mixing it in bit by bit until the dough reaches a smooth and pliable consistency. The amount of flour may vary, so adjust it according to the mixture’s texture.

  5. Shape the Cireng: Shape the dough into flat, round patties, ensuring they are not too thick to allow for even frying. Lightly coat each patty with more tapioca flour to enhance the crispiness.

  6. Fry the Cireng: In a deep pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Carefully place the shaped patties into the hot oil and fry them until they turn golden brown and crispy, which should take about 3-5 minutes.

  7. Serve: Once cooked, remove the Cireng from the oil and let them drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve the Cireng Nasi warm, optionally with extra spicy sauce or sambal on the side for dipping.
