Hi Stemians!

Actually, mpek-mpek is a unique food originated fom Palembang, South Sumatra. However, it is quite famous and becomes a favourite snack for mostly people in every province (region) in Indonesia. Empek-empek is made from kind of fish (usually like snapper fish, tilapia fish, nile tilapia, gouramee), tapioca flour, and salt to taste. The comparison of measurement between tapioca flour and flesh of fish is 1:1. It’s so simple, but indeed you need some techniques in doing this.
Well, for this first cooking, I tried to make Empek-empek from perch fish, inspired by Indonesian Cookpad, which then the recipe it self was combined depending on the taste choice.
