Instructions
-
Prepare the Dough:
- In a small saucepan, combine 3 tablespoons of tapioca flour with 1/2 cup of water. Stir well until the mixture is completely dissolved.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and continue to stir the mixture until it thickens into a smooth porridge. This should take just a few minutes. Once done, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

-
Combine Ingredients:
- Once the porridge is cool, add the minced garlic, 1 large egg, and 1/2 can of tuna to the mixture. Season with salt to taste. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
-
Prepare for Frying:
- In a frying pan, heat a generous amount of oil over medium-high heat.
- On a flat plate, spread out the remaining 6 tablespoons of tapioca flour. This will be used to coat the Cireng.
-
Shape the Cireng:
- Take a tablespoon of the prepared tuna mixture and flatten it gently into a disc shape with your hands.
- Roll the disc in the tapioca flour to coat both sides lightly.
-
Fry the Cireng:
- Carefully place the coated Cireng into the hot oil. To ensure they cook evenly, use a spoon to drizzle some hot oil over the tops of the cakes immediately after adding them to the pan.
- Fry until they turn a beautiful golden brown, about 3-5 minutes on each side, then remove and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
-
Serving:
- Repeat the frying process until all the mixture has been used. Serve your delicious Cireng Tuna hot, accompanied by a spicy sambal for dipping.
