• Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions:

1. Thaw the frozen otak-otak or fish cake if necessary.
2. In a mixing bowl, beat the egg with a fork.
3. In another mixing bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and turmeric powder.
4. Dip each piece of otak-otak or fish cake into the beaten egg, making sure it’s fully coated.
5. Dredge the egg-coated otak-otak or fish cake in the flour mixture, making sure it’s fully coated.

7. Fry the otak-otak or fish cake until they’re golden brown on both sides, about 3-5 minutes.
8. Remove the otak-otak or fish cake from the frying pan and place them on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
