Hello!

It seems you are interested in Samplok (sometimes also written as Samlok or considered similar to Jemblem / a fried snack made from flour and sweet filling).

To explain precisely how to make Samplok that you are referring to, I need some clarification, because in some areas of Indonesia:

  • “Samplok” may refer to:
    • A fried snack made from rice flour / glutinous rice filled with palm sugar or sweet coconut, or
    • A snack made from cassava with a sweet filling, or
    • A fried mixture (flour + grated coconut).

Before I write the complete recipe and detailed steps (along with anti-failure tips and variations), please provide information first:

  1. The Samplok you are referring to:

    • Based on rice/glutinous rice flour
    • Or based on cassava
    • Or maybe what is its shape (round, oval, flattened, is it filled or not)?

  2. You want:

    • The simplest and most economical ingredient recipe
    • Or a more complete recipe that is soft on the inside and crispy on the outside?

The answers to these two things will determine the most suitable recipe. Just answer with a brief description (for example: "Samplok which is made from rice flour and filled with palm sugar, fried") and I will give you:

  • The complete recipe (ingredients and measurements)
  • Detailed steps
  • Tips so that it doesn't get hard and doesn't absorb too much oil
  • Ideas for flavor variations (chocolate, cheese, etc.)

While waiting for clarification, you can also see general references about Indonesian traditional snacks:

Just write the type of Samplok you want, then I will continue with the complete guide.
