👨🍳 Instructies
- 1
Prepare the Ambuyat: In a large mixing bowl, combine sago starch with about 1 cup of cool water and mix until smooth. Gradually add the boiling water, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon or fork until the mixture becomes translucent and sticky, resembling glue. Add more boiling water if needed to reach a thick, pudding-like consistency.
💡 Pro Tips: Ensure the water is boiling hot, as warm or cold water will not properly gelatinize the starch. - 2
Prepare the Dipping Sauce (Cacah): In a mortar and pestle (or a small bowl), mince the dried shrimp and Thai chili pepper. Add the shrimp paste and mix well. If using, add the tempoyak (fermented durian).
