Brilio.net - Rempeyek is usually enjoyed as an accompaniment to heavy meals. Its crunchy and savory texture makes rempeyek often used as a substitute for crackers. Several dishes such as pecel rice, gado-gado, and even noodles taste better when eaten with rempeyek.
Enjoying crispy rempeyek will certainly increase your appetite. However, many people still fail to get the desired rempeyek results. Instead of being crispy, rempeyek can become soft or even hard after being fried.
Indeed, there is a special trick to get a crispy texture on rempeyek. The amount of ingredients, the texture of the dough, and the frying process greatly affect the final result of rempeyek. Therefore, the process of making rempeyek cannot be underestimated.
Luckily, a netizen on YouTube with a channel called Dapur Moochies TV once shared a trick for making rempeyek dough so that the results are crispy. Not only that, the dough also makes the rempeyek not oily after being fried. Thus, the crispiness of the rempeyek can last longer.
In making rempeyek, he does not only use rice flour, which is the basic ingredient for making rempeyek. However, there are two additional ingredients that are the main key to making rempeyek crispy and not oily. As reported by BrilioFood on Friday (12/9), the kitchen ingredients are starch or tapioca flour and lime water.
But in order for the rempeyek to be maximally crispy, both ingredients must be used in the right proportions. Because if not, the taste, texture, or even the color of the rempeyek will be less attractive in the end. Therefore, you need to know the proportions of the ingredients more clearly.

First, prepare 320 grams of rice flour and 50 grams of tapioca flour in a container. Then add a fine seasoning made from 3 candlenuts, 3 cloves of garlic, 1 tbsp coriander, 1.5 tsp salt, and a little kencur. If so, add 1 egg and 1/4 tsp of powdered broth.

Next, add 1 tbsp of lime water. Now, don't use too much lime because the rempeyek will taste bitter. If you have added lime, stir it first using your hands (like kneading) so that all the ingredients are completely mixed and there are no lumps.
Once mixed, pour in 350-370 ml of boiled water gradually while continuing to stir using a rice ladle. Well, this finished dough does not need to be given peanuts (another filling ingredient) right away. When you are about to mold it in a frying pan filled with hot oil, then add the peanuts.

The frying process of these rempeyek must also be considered, you know. So use a lot of hot oil. After that, take a ladle of dough and put in the split peanuts. Then, print on the edge of the pan.

After being molded, fry until the rempeyek comes off the edge of the pan. Then just fry until half cooked first. After that, drain for a few seconds. Then put it back in the hot oil and fry until dry.
"That's so it's crispy and not too burnt, the peanuts are cooked. Because sometimes the fritters are cooked, but the peanuts are not cooked," explained YouTube Dapur Moochies TV.
When it is crispy and the nuts turn brown, remove and drain. For maximum results, drain the rempeyek on paper or kitchen tissue. That way, the rempeyek will not easily become soft because it is too oily.
