How To Cook: |
|
|
1. Combine the ground beef, coconut, egg, coriander, garlic, cumin, salt and pepper in a deep bowl and knead vigorously with both hands. Then beat the mixture with a wooden spoon until it is smooth and fluffy.
|
2. For each patty scoop up about ¼ cup of the coconut-beef mixture with your hand and pat it into a round cake about 2 inches in diameter and ½ inch thick.
|
3. Preheat the oven to the lowest setting and line a large, shallow baking pan with a double thickness of paper towels. Set the pan on the middle shelf of the oven.
|
4. Pour the vegetable oil into a heavy 10- to 12- inch skillet. The oil should be at least 1 inch deep; if necessary, add more. Heat the oil over moderate heat until it is very hot but not smoking.
|
5. Fry the patties, 5 or 6 at a time, for about 5 minutes on each side, or until they are crisp and richly browned. As they brown, transfer them to the paper-lined pan to keep warm while you fry the rest.
|
6. Arrange the Rempah on a heated platter and serve as soon as possible. Rempah are traditionally served with Nasi Kuning Lengkap.
