Preparation method
- To make the bumbu, roast the cumin and coriander in a frying pan.
- Put in a blender together with the candlenuts, galangal, ginger, garlic, onions, shrimp paste, and chilli peppers and grind into a fine paste.
- Gently fry the bumbu mixture in a heavy-bottomed pan to release all the flavours.
- Add the meat and mix in carefully.
- Crush the lemongrass with a chef's knife.
- Now add the coconut milk, palm sugar, lemongrass, bay leaves, and kaffir lime leaves.
- Bring to the boil and leave to gently simmer in a covered pan until done. Stir regularly to prevent the mixture from burning.
- Remove the meat from the sauce and take out the leaves and lemongrass. Keep the cooking liquid for the salpicon.
- Briefly grind the meat in the food processor using the butterfly whisk.
- Make a salpicon from the clarified butter, flour, and sauce.
- Add some gelatin if you want a thicker salpicon.
- Add the salpicon to the meat and then set aside in the refrigerator to firm up.
- Shape the salpicon into neat balls and coat with the flour, then the egg white, and lastly the panko.
- Deep-fry the croquettes at 180°C and then drain on kitchen paper.
Serving suggestions
