Steps

  1. Comb the palm sugar to help it dissolve faster. Grind the garlic and green bird's-eye chilies with a little water.
  2. Put the palm sugar, tamarind, water, ground spice paste, salt, and sugar into a pot, stir well, and cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
  3. Once boiling, lower the heat and cook the cuko sauce for 15-20 minutes until it's sweet, sour, and spicy. Strain, then let it rest (ideally overnight) so it becomes thicker and richer.
  4. Blend the garlic and rebon shrimp with water.
  5. Mix the flour, salt, bouillon powder, a little MSG, and the ground shrimp mixture, stir until combined and smooth.
  6. Cook the mixture (the base) in a non-stick pan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens, is fully cooked, and no longer sticks to the pan, then transfer to a bowl and stir until cool.
  7. Once cool, add the eggs, stir well, then add the tapioca starch a little at a time and knead by hand until combined (the dough will stay a bit sticky — don't add more tapioca).
  8. Take about 50 g of dough, shape it into a cylinder (lenjer) or a bowl shape filled with beaten egg for the egg-filled variant, then drop it straight into boiling water with a little oil added.
  9. Boil until the pempek float, then cook another 10-15 minutes until cooked through (especially for the egg-filled ones), remove and drain.
  10. Fry the pempek over medium heat until cooked and turned golden evenly, not too dry, remove and drain.
  11. Serve the pempek with the cuko sauce and sliced cucumber.
