Chinese New Year biscuit baking - Arrowhead chips (aka ngaku)


Another super simple CNY goody. Not sure if this belongs to biscuit category, but it's definitely a traditional delicacy for Chinese folks.
It's known as ngaku ,  suku, or chiku. Not sure of where all this nicknames originate from.


This slicer from Mr DIY @ RM2.30

Recipe you ask? More like steps here:
a) slice into chip-like pieces using the proper slicer
b) fry in cooking oil till golden brown. 
c) drain or lay on baking paper. 
d) sprinkle with salt to taste - Wendy's method adds salt to frying oil, so no need do this step.

* she got a lot of details if you are interested. Such as how to choose arrow head below:

"Just get those with nice smooth butts, no cracks & they'll be good"


End product, 2x canister from our RM6.50 @ RM0.50 per 100g

Saw that Jusco had a RM0.28 per100 g rate, but we hold off from buying thinking that we should finish frying our chips first. 

Checked again yesterday and it's all sold out. First canister already fully consumed by baby E by now. Time to resupply & re-fry again i guess.


Ok la, give face abit..need effort also & careful not to slice your own fingers.
