👨🍳 步骤
- 1
Prepare the fish paste mixture: In a large bowl, combine the fish paste, tapioca starch, minced garlic, minced shallots, chopped scallions, egg, salt, and white pepper. Mix thoroughly until a cohesive, slightly sticky dough forms. You can test the seasoning by frying a small spoonful of the mixture; adjust salt and pepper as needed.
⏱️ 15 minutes - 2
Stuff the tofu: Take each piece of tofu and carefully fill the pocket with the fish paste mixture, pressing it in gently. Ensure the pockets are well-filled but not overstuffed.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 3
Prepare the wonton wrappers: For the wonton wrappers, place a small spoonful of the fish paste mixture in the center of each wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half to create a triangle or in quarters to form a small parcel, pressing the edges to seal. You can also moisten the edges with a little water if they don't stick well.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 4
Heat the oil for deep frying: Pour enough vegetable oil into a wok or deep pot to allow for deep frying. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches approximately 170°C (340°F). You can test the oil temperature by dropping a small piece of the fish mixture into it; it should sizzle immediately and float to the surface.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 5
Deep fry the batagor: Carefully place the stuffed tofu and the filled wonton wrappers into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry in batches for about 5-8 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden brown and cooked through. The tofu should be slightly crispy on the outside, and the wonton wrappers should be puffed and crisp. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels.
⏱️ 15 minutes - 6
Prepare the peanut sauce (if not using store-bought): While the batagor are frying or draining, ensure your peanut sauce is warm and ready. A typical Indonesian peanut sauce is made by sautéing chili, garlic, and shallots, then simmering with ground peanuts, coconut milk, tamarind paste, palm sugar, and salt.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 7
Serve: Arrange the fried tofu and wonton dumplings on a serving platter. Drizzle generously with warm peanut sauce. Serve immediately with wedges of lime, thinly sliced cucumber, and a side of kecap manis for dipping. Offer chili sauce on the side for those who like extra heat.
