Step by Step to Make Cilok Kanji
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine the cassava flour, minced garlic, minced shallots, finely chopped spring onion, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Then, gradually add water while kneading the dough until it forms a smooth texture.
Note: If the dough is too dry, add some more water. If it is too wet, add more cassava flour.
Step 2: Boil the Water
Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
Step 3: Shape the Dough
Take a small portion of the dough and roll it into a ball with your hands. Repeat until all the dough is used up.
Then, flatten the dough balls slightly with your palm or with a fork to create a pattern.
Step 4: Cook the Cilok Kanji
Drop the dough balls into the boiling water and cook until they float to the surface, which usually takes around 3-5 minutes.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the cooked cilok kanji from the water and place them in a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking process.
Step 5: Serve with Peanut Sauce
Drain the cilok kanji and arrange them on a serving plate. Serve with peanut sauce.
