Savory Mini Cireng with Egg Delight

Mini Cireng with Egg Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup tapioca flour
• 15 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
• Chopped green onions (to taste)
• Salt, to taste
• Flavor enhancer (such as MSG or your preferred seasoning), to taste
• 1 egg (for mixing with the dough)
• Ice water, as needed
• Plastic wrap or small plastic bags

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:

   • In a mixing bowl, combine the tapioca flour, all-purpose flour, minced garlic, chopped green onions, salt, and flavor enhancer.
   • Gradually add ice water, stirring continuously until the mixture becomes thick and slightly sticky.

2. Shape the Dough:

   • Cut the plastic wrap or small plastic bags into strips, approximately the length you want your cireng to be.
   • Divide the dough in half. Mix one half with the egg, ensuring it is well combined.

3. Form Mini Cireng:

   • Place a portion of the dough on the prepared plastic strips.
   • Roll the dough into a cylindrical shape using the plastic as a guide.
   • Repeat with the remaining dough.

4. Steam the Cireng:

   • Prepare a steamer by bringing water to a boil.
   • Place the rolled dough into the steamer, ensuring they are not touching each other.
   • Steam for about 20-30 minutes, or until the cireng floats and is cooked through. Check the doneness by inserting a toothpick; if it comes out clean, the cireng is ready.

5. Finishing Touches:

   • Once steamed, remove the cireng from the steamer and allow them to cool. They can be enjoyed as-is or fried for a crispy texture.

6. Optional – Frying:

   • For a crispy version, heat oil in a pan over medium heat.
   • Fry the cooled cireng until golden brown and crispy.
   • Drain on paper towels before serving.

Enjoy your homemade Mini Cireng with Egg, a delightful snack that can be savored either steamed or fried!
