Batagor Komplit
After a loooong battle and a fierce hostility against the kitchen (haha), i got my power back :3
My best friend told me that she wanted to eat batagor, a kind of traditional snack from West Java. It is actually sliced tofu stuffed with fish dough, steamed, and then fried, served with spicy peanut sauce. The batagor itself is usually accompanied by fried pangsit or fried dumplings.
I thought that it would be good for a come back wasn't it? Hehe. Then there they were! Please welcome a bunch of happiness: Batagor Komplit :3
Batagor (top left picture) :
6 blocks of tofu (i used solid chinese tofu, @300gr. don't use japanese tofu, it's usually too smooth)
1 kg Pangasius Fish
15 sticks of young onion (junge ajuin, green onion, or leek)
8 cloves of garlic
400 gr tapioca flour
1 teaspoon chicken stock
salt, pepper, sugar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 eggs, whisk
for outer layer/coating before frying: 2 eggs, whisk together with salt and pepper
Cut tofu block into your desired size. Make a hole in crater shape, in the middle of your tofu blocks which would be cup for your fish dough. Put tofu cups aside and the remaining scraps will be used in the fish dough.
Blend fish, tofu scraps, and garlic in a food processor. While it's processing, chop young onion. Mix together all the ingredients with your processed fish until it's smooth and steady.
Put a spoonful of fish dough inside your tofu cups. Do this until your tofu cups are stuffed.
Steam your tofu cups for approximately 15 minutes. Take it out from steamer and let it cool.
Dip your steamed tofu into egg coating and deep-fry in preheated oil.
Fried Pangsit (top middle picture):

You can make this fried pangsit in any shape, but i prefer to make it simple. Take a half spoonful of fish dough, wrap it with instant dumpling skin. Fry in preheated oil.
I made 50 pieces fried pangsit from the remaining fish dough, and still got bonus: Fried fish dough (bottom left picture). It's a big feast!! :)))
Batagor Soup (bottom middle picture) :
1 ltr water
half teaspoon chicken stock
4 cloves of garlic
salt, pepper, and sugar
Chop garlic and saute inside your saucepan. Add water and chicken stock, let it boil. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and sugar until it meets the taste. Serve with chopped young onion.
Peanut Sauce (far right picture):
300 gr peanut butter
6 cloves of garlic
6 sticks of red chili
4 sticks of cayenne/bird eye chili
50 gr solid palm sugar
4 teaspoon vinegar
salt and sugar
Saute red chili, bird eye chili, and garlic. Crush/cut them rough.
Boil on low heat: peanut butter, vinegar, palm sugar, and a glass of water. Stir in your sauteed chili. Sprinkle with salt and sugar until it meets your taste.
Serve with batagor, fried pangsit, steamed potato, boiled egg, and thick black soy sauce.
Smakelijk eten!
