fried arrow head

christmas and new year is over..
it will soon be time to CHINESE NEW YEAR! yippee!!

to get in "the mood" my mum has already begun making new year goodies..that will make me...F.A.T! OH-NO!!

This is probably one of my favourite cny snack. luckily we only eat it once a year cos its so fattening...

fried arrow heads!

i helped out a bit (just peeling and keeping them) and avoiding the deep fryer cos flying hot oil is SCARY! eeee
there is a certain "skill" needed to fry these golden yellow chips...to the thickness of it..and the proper temperature and stuff like that..

arrow heads, if you've never seen it before =p its also known as "nga ku" in hakka

peel the skin..

soak it in salt water (to prevent oxidation)

slice it with the food processor

deep fry it! see what i mean about eating it once a year??

the final product =)
