Cheat Pempek (Fried Fish Cake in Sour Soup) step by step

1. Blitz the fish with the water inside a food processor. If you don't have a food processor, you can steam or boil the fish together with the water until it soften. then you can mix it together with the dry ingredient. Just ensure that the end batter is cold so that it's crunchy when fried..
2. Boil the egg, preferably hard boiled. Set aside..
3. Prepare the oil in the wok for deep frying. Traditionally you shape the batter to different shapes according to the filling, with the most common cylindrical, and half moon with egg filling. However, this is a cheat version, so just shape them with 2 spoons and put them straight to the oil to deep fry. You can fry them and store or store then fry, up to you..
4. After you finish frying, you can make the soup/ cuko. Feel free to adjust the taste as I usually eyeball the garlic and the chili..
5. Serve by cutting 4 pempek to bite sized chunks, 1-2 halves of boiled egg, and 1-2 tablespoon of cucumber. Add the soup. Originally it should be dipped but I like to drench the crispy fish cake and crunchy cucumber in cold sauce..
6. Enjoy..
