Peyek is made from a mixture of flour filled with peanuts, anchovies, soybeans, and others. The texture of peyek is crispy, making it addictive when chewed.
Generally, the process of frying peyek is done by pouring the batter onto the edge of the pan. Later, when the peyek is increasingly cooked, its position will automatically fall into the oil. However, many people have difficulty doing the process of pouring the batter. Not to mention, the peyek batter can overflow and make the oil dirty quickly.
So, instead of pouring the batter into the pan, many people choose to use a special mold to fry peyek. Usually, the mold is round, so that the shape of the fried peyek is neater. However, the owner of the TikTok account @afifah_atu99 has another trick that is much simpler.
As reported by BrilioFood from the TikTok account @afifah_atu99 on Tuesday (13/8), the netizen who is familiarly called Afifah explained, you only need one simple tool to practice this trick. In fact, this peyek frying trick also makes the results thinner and crispier, you know.

So, the only tool you need is one iron spatula. TikTok account owner @afifah_atu99 said, it is better to use a new spatula or one that is specifically used in frying pans. In addition, before using it, make sure the spatula has been soaked in cooking oil first so that it doesn't stick. "Soak it in hot oil first," he said. After that, immediately pour the spatula with a thin layer of peyek dough, so that the results will be even crispier. After the spatula is covered in dough, immediately soak it in a frying pan filled with hot oil.

Quickly shake the spatula so that the peyek dough is easily released and immersed in the oil. After the peyek is released from the spatula, take the remaining dough again in the same way.

Continue to fry all the peyek in hot oil until the result is dry, brown, and crispy. After that, the peyek can be lifted using a strainer slowly. Drain the peyek, then the peyek is ready to be served.
