Chinese New Year is around the corner and definitely with this MCO2.0 we're looking into having much more fun activities at home for the family. This time around we shall try to bring out the CNY festive mood a little bit by getting everyone participate in a little pre-CNY snacks preparation activity. We'd start it off by making our very own ngaku a.k.a arrowhead chips.
These crunchy arrowhead snack is rather popular during the CNY ..trust me, once you have a bite...you can never stop crunching on them. No doubts that this definitely is an addictive snack to binge during this festive season and it is also found much easily at the hypermarkets during this period. Personally, it's a much healthier snack to have during this time, as we can personally have it made with strictly no salt and preservatives added.
To have these chips homemade is rather straightforward, all you need to do is to follow the instructions below and you can enjoy your very own arrowhead snack!! If you're still wondering what's an arrowhead bulb...here's a picture of it right after purchasing them and before it's being cleaned and sliced.
1. 1kg of arrowhead bulbs
2. Clean cooking oil
2. Then, use a peeler to slice off the skin.
3. Once step 2 is completed, use a mandoline slicer to get thinly sliced chips. Preferably 1-1.5mm
thickness.
4. Next, heat up the oil in a frying pan/wok once step 3 is completed.
5. Throw in the sliced chips into the hot oil & let it fry over medium heat till it turns golden brown.
(PS: Ensure that the chips does not overlap too much as it would stick to each other)
