  • Prepare boiling water and boil the pempek. Once they’ve float up wait for another 2-3 minutes just to make sure it’s cooked thoroughly.
  • Then take the pempek out and let it cool for about 15 minutes (in this process, the pempek slightly cooks as the heat still remains) before proceeding for deep frying!
  • Prepare oil for deep frying with medium to low heat.
