Palembang Fish Empek-Empek with Peanut Sauce
Steamed and seared fish cakes made from fresh mackerel and tapioca starch, served with a creamy, spicy peanut sauce and crisp, refreshing cucumber.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Ground Spanish mackerel
1 large Egg
0.13 cup Tapioca starch
1 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp White pepper
1 clove Garlic
0.5 tbsp Natural peanut butter
1 tsp Tamari
1 tsp Lime juice
0.25 tsp Red chili flakes
1 cup Cucumber
0.25 tsp Avocado oil
PREPARATION
Combine the ground mackerel, minced garlic, sea salt, and white pepper in a large bowl, mixing until the texture becomes very tacky.
Add the egg to the fish mixture and stir well, then slowly incorporate the tapioca starch until a pliable dough forms.
Shape the dough into small logs or discs using lightly floured hands to prevent sticking.
Drop the fish cakes into a pot of boiling water and cook until they float to the surface, then simmer for 5 more minutes.
Remove the cakes with a slotted spoon and pat them dry with a clean towel.
Heat avocado oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and sear the cakes until they develop a golden, crispy crust.
In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, tamari, lime juice, and chili flakes with two tablespoons of warm water until smooth.
Slice the warm fish cakes and serve immediately topped with the peanut sauce and fresh diced cucumber.
