Tape is known as a traditional fermented food that is very popular in Indonesia. This food is made from cassava or sticky rice fermented with yeast. With a sweet, slightly sour taste and soft texture, tape is not only liked as a snack, but is also often used as a basic ingredient for various creative dishes.
One of the most famous and popular tape dishes is gabin tape. This menu has a sweet taste from the tape and a crunchy texture from the gabin or biscuits used. This unique combination creates a rich and satisfying taste sensation on the tongue of every fan.
The process of making gabin tape is quite simple and the ingredients needed are also easy to get. But unfortunately, not a few people fail to make gabin tape because it is oily. In addition, gabin tape can smell rancid if not processed properly.
Then to avoid this, you can imitate the trick shared by TikTok user @ellizharyati. Through one of the videos she uploaded, the account owner admitted to having a special technique when making gabin tape so that the results do not smell rancid. This odorless gabin can be preserved and stored as a snack stock for up to 1 month, you know.
As reported by BrilioFood from TikTok @ellizharyati on Wednesday (21/8), the key is in the use of flour. So the flour used for the tape dough mixture must be roasted first. This will make the gabin tape last longer and not go rancid easily.

For the further process, prepare 500 grams of cassava tape. Then steam for 10 minutes until the texture is softer. While waiting, you can roast 100 grams of wheat flour first. Just roast for 5-10 minutes so that it is completely dry.

Next, mix the tape and flour in one container. Also add 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 1 packet of white condensed milk. Stir until the tape is crushed and mixed with all the ingredients, so that it becomes a smooth dough.

If so, take enough tape dough. After that, print the dough on a sheet of gabin. Then cover it with another gabin on top. Then tidy up the dough on the side. Do this process until the tape and gabin dough runs out. Now, the molded gabin tape can be fried immediately. However, you can also store it first if it is not consumed immediately. Just put it in an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator.

If you want to eat it, fry the gabin tape in a pan filled with lots of oil over low heat. Once it is dry and brown, flip the gabin tape. Just flip it once so that the gabin tape does not absorb a lot of oil. Well, if it feels cooked, then remove and drain. The cooked gabin tape can be consumed immediately. You can also store it in an airtight jar if you want to make it a snack stock. Guaranteed gabin tape will not rot or go rancid for up to a month.
