INGREDIENTS:
- 1 cup cooked fish fillet (any type of fish)
- 500 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 drops of yellow natural food coloring
- 1 egg, well-beaten
- 4 cups water
- 1 ½ tsp salt
- 3 tbsp dayap juice (lime)
HOW TO MAKE:
- Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
- Chop the cooked fish fillet into small pieces.
- In a blender or food processor, add fish fillet, water, and egg. Blend or process it for about 2-3 minutes until smooth and grounded.
- Add the dry ingredients to the blended fish mixture. Blend it again, until it forms into a thick batter.
- Add food coloring and blend it again.
- Prepare a steamer. Add water and bring it to a boil.
- Using a 9″ diameter aluminum pan, pour about 3 ½ tablespoon of the batter.
Note: If using a different size of pan, make sure to pour enough batter, and fully cover the bottom. Spread the batter and tilt the pan on all sides to coat the bottom evenly.
- Steam it for about 3-5 minutes or just until the batter becomes firm and transparent. Make sure to cover the steamer with a clean cloth to prevent water drippings on the pan.
- Remove from heat, and let it cool with an ice water bath. (Place the pan in a larger pan with ice water, without letting any water into the fish mixture).
- Transfer the cooked kropek on a rack. Turn it over and gently remove the edges away from the pan. Be careful not to tear it.
- Let the kropek dry for about 30 minutes. Slice the partially dry steamed kropek into a rectangular size and continue to let it dry. (Make sure that no insect infest/touch your drying kropek though)
- Once the kropek becomes dried out.
- Deep fry the kropek in hot oil and let it expand. It will stop expanding once cooked, then you can drain it away from oil. Transfer into a plate lined with paper towels. Serve and enjoy.
- Store in an airtight container or sealed plastic to maintain crispiness.
