Crispy, Cracked, and Savory Fried Cassava without Boiling First

Kapanlagi.com - Fried Cassava, as a snack with a crispy texture and delicious taste that stimulates the appetite, is suitable to be enjoyed in various situations. Not only as a casual snack, but also as an alternative to filling rice.

In the process of making it, cassava is not directly fried without involving an initial processing stage to achieve a soft texture. Usually, the step taken to make cassava soft is by boiling it first. Although boiling cassava can provide a soft texture, this method often takes a long time and uses a considerable amount of gas. In addition, the use of many kitchen utensils can also leave a pile of dirty dishes.

However, to get a soft texture of cassava, it is not always necessary to use the boiling method. There are other ways that can be applied to keep cassava soft, crispy, and have a crispy skin. One of these methods is shared by a TikTok user with the account @yuk_masakkk through a video.

In the video, it is revealed that cassava only needs to be fried, but to achieve the optimal level of softness, the cassava is fried twice. During the frying process, cassava is soaked in spices between two rounds of frying to achieve maximum deliciousness.
