Mash the boiled black-eyed peas, then knead with the flour and half of the salt into small patties.
Fry the black-eyed pea patties in half of the vegetable oil for 8 minutes.
Dice the tofu and turn in the remaining oil for 6 minutes.
Boil the garlic, fish sauce, molasses, sweet soy sauce, and hot water for 10 minutes.
Add the bean sprouts to the sauce and soften for 2 minutes.
Place the rice cakes, tofu, and black-eyed pea patties in bowls, ladle over the hot sauce, and serve with fried onions.
💡 Tip: Using fish sauce and a little molasses instead of petis softens the aroma; keep the amount low on a first try.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve lontong balap hot in bowls, with lemon and chili paste on the side if desired.
