Treat your ingredients with care...
- Cassava — Make sure to peel the cassava thoroughly, as the skin can be tough. Additionally, soaking the cassava strips in water helps remove excess starch and results in a lighter, fluffier texture when fried.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra kick of flavor, sprinkle some chili powder or paprika on the fried cassava before serving.
- Serve the Crispy Fried Cassava with a side of spicy peanut sauce for a delicious dipping option.
- To achieve an even crispier texture, double-fry the cassava strips. After the first fry, let them cool for a few minutes, then fry them again until golden brown.
- Experiment with different seasonings such as garlic powder, onion powder, or mixed herbs to add variety to the flavor profile.
- If you prefer a healthier alternative, you can also bake the cassava strips in the oven at 200°C (400°F) for approximately 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
Serving advice
Crispy Fried Cassava is best enjoyed immediately after frying, while it is still hot and crispy. Serve it as a snack or appetizer at parties, or as a side dish to accompany your favorite Indonesian main course. Pair it with a refreshing drink to balance the flavors.
Presentation advice
Arrange the golden-brown fried cassava strips on a platter or in a basket lined with banana leaves for an authentic touch. Garnish with fresh herbs such as cilantro or parsley to add a pop of color. Serve with small bowls of spicy peanut sauce for dipping.
