2. Cook the Flour Mixture: In a large saucepan, combine the all-purpose flour, water, and flavor enhancer. Stir the mixture well to ensure it’s thoroughly combined. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously with a wooden spatula, until the mixture thickens to the consistency of porridge or a thick custard. This should take about 10-15 minutes. Once thickened, turn off the heat and let the mixture sit until the steam dissipates, approximately 25-30 minutes.

3. Prepare the Garlic and Salt: While the flour mixture is cooling, finely grind the garlic and salt together.

4. Combine Ingredients: Add the garlic-salt mixture to the cooled flour mixture. Then, incorporate the beaten eggs into the mixture. Stir well using the wooden spatula until fully combined.

5. Add Sago Flour: Gradually add the sago flour to the mixture, stirring continuously with the spatula. Once the sago flour is mostly mixed in, switch to using your hands to knead the dough. Be careful not to over-knead, as this can make the Pempek too tough. Use a gentle pinching motion with your fingers to mix the dough.

6. Shape the Pempek: Pinch off portions of the dough and shape them into the desired form. You can shape them as shown in the provided images, or alternatively, into small cylindrical shapes. Each piece should be filled with a small amount of young papaya stir-fry or a bit of beaten egg yolk (a small amount). Ensure the filling is well-sealed within the dough.

7. Fry the Pempek: Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the Pempek in batches, turning them as needed, until they achieve a golden-brown color.

8. Serve: Remove the Pempek from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with Cuko (a spicy vinegar sauce). Note: The Cuko recipe is not included here, but it is a traditional accompaniment to Pempek and adds a tangy, spicy flavor.

Enjoy your homemade Pempek Dos as a satisfying and flavorful snack, perfect for any occasion. Happy cooking!
