Peyek is generally made from rice flour and tapioca, so the result can be thin and crispy. This food is suitable as a snack or a complement to the main menu. The crispy texture and savory taste of peyek make it hard to stop eating.
Well, usually peyek is also made using additional coconut milk. However, this one ingredient is said to make peyek smell quickly when stored later. Even so, you don't need to be confused first, because there is a trick so that your homemade peyek remains crispy and savory even without coconut milk.
The trick was shared by the owner of the YouTube account salembrot vlog. This woman admitted that she used to be a peyek seller, so she is very familiar with the trick of making this side dish.

Before getting into the trick, prepare a bowl or basin to mix the dough. Then, add 500 grams of rice flour and 5 tablespoons of tapioca flour. Yup, the combination of these two flours is guaranteed to produce crispy peyek fritters. Then, dissolve it with enough water.

Once done, don't forget to add 7 cloves of garlic, 1 segment of galangal, and 1 tablespoon of ground coriander with salt and MSG. All of these spices must be used to produce savory peyek. The owner of the YouTube account salembrot vlog also explained that he avoided using turmeric, because it makes the peyek burn quickly when fried. After the spices are in, then add the eggs. Well, these eggs are a substitute for coconut milk to produce fried peyek that remains crispy and even more savory. "Coconut milk is for crunchy and savory, here I replaced it with only 2 eggs," said the owner of the YouTube account salembrot vlog, quoted by BrilioFood on Monday (12/8).

Stir until all the peyek dough ingredients are evenly mixed. Next, add the topping or peyek filling. The owner of the YouTube account salembrot vlog uses 3 fillings at once, namely pieces of lime leaves, rebon shrimp, and peanuts. Then stir again until all the ingredients are evenly mixed.

Prepare a frying pan filled with quite a lot of oil, then heat it over medium heat. When the oil is hot, don't forget to pour it to the edge of the pan, because later the peyek dough will be poured into that area.

Pour the peyek mixture to the edge of the pan, wait a few moments later the peyek will go down into the oil by itself. After that, continue to fry the peyek mixture until cooked, crispy, and brown.
