1. Prepare the Ingredients |
Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Clean and chop the tuna, carrots, green mustard greens, green onions, and mushrooms. Set aside. |
2. Blend the Mixture |
In a blender, blend the tuna, carrots, green mustard greens, sautéed green onions, and mushrooms until finely mixed. Next, blend the spices together with the milk until you achieve a smooth consistency. |
3. Combine Ingredients |
In a large mixing bowl, combine the blended mixture with the ground spices. Stir thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed. |
4. Add Eggs and Broth |
Crack the eggs one at a time into the mixture, followed by adding the mushroom broth. Mix well until fully combined. |
5. Incorporate Flours |
Gradually add the all-purpose flour and tapioca flour into the mixture, stirring continuously until you achieve a smooth batter. |
6. Finalize the Mixture |
Add the breadcrumbs to the batter and mix until fully integrated. This will give the nuggets their unique texture. |
7. Prepare to Steam |
Fill a steamer pot with water and bring it to a boil. Meanwhile, place the mixture on a sheet of aluminum foil, rolling it into a cylindrical shape like a lontong (Indonesian rice cake) and seal the ends. |
8. Steam the Mixture |
Carefully place the rolled mixture into the steamer and steam for about 40 minutes. This step is crucial to set the ingredients and enhance their flavors. |
9. Cool and Slice |
Once steamed, remove the foil rolls and allow them to cool. After cooling, slice them into bite-sized pieces. |
10. Prepare Coating |
For the coating, set up three separate bowls: one with all-purpose flour, another with beaten eggs (add 2 teaspoons of ground pepper), and a third with breadcrumbs. |
11. Coat the Nuggets |
Take each piece of the cooled nugget and first coat it in the all-purpose flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it in breadcrumbs. Repeat this process until all pieces are thoroughly coated. |
12. Freeze for Best Results |
Place the coated nuggets in the freezer for at least 3 hours. This helps the breadcrumbs adhere better during frying, ensuring a crispier texture. |
13. Fry the Nuggets |
In a large frying pan, heat oil over medium heat. Fry the frozen nuggets until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes on each side. Once cooked, remove them from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. |
14. Serve and Enjoy |
Serve your delicious Nugget Tuna Sayur warm with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side dish. These nuggets are not only healthy but also bursting with flavors that everyone will love! |
