Empek-empek, mpek-mpek, mpempek or some other designation of Palembang traditional foods that contain fish and sago dough .. But the truth is right it is called "empek-empek"Here I will try to rewrite the origin of the name-empek empek where because I'm just back from my hometown of Kilkenny, and had tasted empek-empek then I'll try to write long-empek mualsan empek name. And incidentally the info I can come from one of the posts of T Wakeel HZ in the books "The discovery of Palembang City Day" published in 1975 and published in Palembang.
The types of empek-empek
Regarding the origin of so-called Empek-empek until now in the city of Palembang itself yet there is a kesepatan comments or opinions and still be diverse. but if examined proces-making, and attention to the names of some other foods, it was concluded that the name-empek empek derived from the words how to make it
Aquet, or some kind of contest ever held one of the newspapers in Kilkenny a few decades ago to look for the origin of that name, ternyat results are not known. While people say that the name is derived from the designation A-pitch, which calls for an Old Chinese. The reason is because the food was first-previously been sold by the Chinese-Chinese food is old and even this is unbelievably didoyani Chinese people. And this is also mentioned in Wikipedia that empek-empek origin comes from the word Apek.
Fish Belida
If only the above reasons it is acceptable kuranglah especially if known to the raw materials and the tools to make these foods are not sourced from China. Make pempek require raw material corn starch,. And we know the sago is made from cassava aka singkong.Kemudian fish used is fish such as fish streams cork (Delek), fish Belida, or Bekutak.Tidak just because these fish species are numerous in this area but dagingnyamemang fit. If the use of marine fish such as tuna, milkfish, mackerel, snapper, etc. is rather difficult because of fragile flesh.
Anyone else think that the name-empek empek it comes from the words (outboard) and then called 2 name a few foods that are taped to paste when making (empek-empek pistel). Usually the foods had his name as Tempe uses letters P, peanut brittle, etc. Pepes. This opinion is pretty close and acceptable. But it is more appropriate by us, that the name-empek empek it comes from the words "Pek-Pek". A designation according to the accent and the tongue of Palembang to work kelandasan emphasize something so so crushed and flattened. As also said by the tongue of the Palembang paste into Tempek.
Telok pempek small, lenjer kecik, submarines, circumstances
There is a special make-empek empek origin and do not paste it. Sounds easy, because the corn starch mixed with fish meat that has been crushed and pinned-paste. But there are actually special, when stirring to combine corn starch and the fish so it's really compound. dough was then taped to paste or ditempek-tempek to to be formed. Due to shape it was not a alatpun used, except the hands,. Hence empek-empek there is no uniformity. Ten fruit-empek empek there are ten kinds of sizes and uneven.
And because he taped-paste or ditempek tempek or under the tongue-wong Palembang in Pek-Pek, then fell our conclusion that the name is taken from how to make it. Just to reinforce this opinion was taken and comparisons drawn equations.
In the city of Palembang, there are several different types of snacks that are popular inhabitants. For example Pempek Banana. This food is made from a mixture of ripe bananas, flour and coconut. make it: Once the material stirred, then placed in the press and the press over the cauldron
Pempek wheat, made from wheat flour (wheat) made into clay, then taped-paste and pressed in the cauldron. Pempek Ubi, grated cassava raw material, mixed brown sugar and coconut. Then taped and pressed in the press pot.
Because food makes it just above the pinned-paste it in pots and pressed-press in the cauldron. And then given the name-pempek Pempek this and that.
To further strengthen again, there are a few examples that can be used as an excuse anyway.
We know many types of foods made from bananas or cassava flour or sugar or mixed with coconut as well as foods that are mentioned above. But in fact namanay not wear name-empek empek. for example, there are also mixed with ripe banana flour guladan kelapa.Tetapi given name was not empek-empek pisang.Tetapi sorry peler goat called "Why? because these foods are not taped and pressed in the cauldron. But the round object made of a clenched fist and then fried.
There is also the grated cassava, coconut and brown sugar given name Pepes but because it must be wrapped with banana leaves are not uniformly shaped and pressed dikuali affixed.
Then there is the food raw material and make it exactly the same as the processing and procesnya empek-empek. But his name is not empty because kelessan pempek ie make it a must to use a kind of mold is made of brass or leather palm dilobangi.
So it is not taped or pressed-press. As well as he should be sliced thinly and cut into neat gobang shaped like money in the first so-called Dutch kempelag mites
So declares the origin of food-empek empek were taken from the words of paste (Tempek) and press (Pek-Pek).
As well as food beebrapa names such as West Java because there oncom Combro her in jerok (in) or Misrok because fishy in jerok (Manis inside)
Thus a brief review of the origin of the name of the original food Empek Empek-Palembang people ..
And hopefully this can provide other information about the origin of empek-empek.
