Hey! Chinese new year is just around the corner :P
So, i'm going to share some recipe that i have learn from my auntie!
What is arrowhead ???
Sagittaria latifolia is a plant found in shallow wetlands and is sometimes known as broad leaf arrowhead, duck-potato,Indian potato, or wapato. This plant produces edible tubers that were extensively used by the Indigenous peoples of the Americas. This plant also can be found in Malaysia during Chinese new year.
The ingredients that we need to make fried arrowhead chips are:
Ingredients
- A few arrowheads
- Salt water
- Oil for deep-frying
Directions
- Slice the top and bottom of the arrowhead off and skin it. Soak it in salt water for an hour (longer if you like) before setting it aside to dry.
- Then slice it thinly and deep fry them. Don't put them in all at once as they will stick together. You have to put them into the oil, slice by slice.
- Remove the chips when they are lightly golden brown. Drain the chips from excess oil and cool them completely before storing in airtight container. You can sprinkle some salt while draining the chips from oil.
Tip
If you don't find it troublesome, you can soak them in salt water after slicing them. This was what my friend did. However, you will need a bigger area to dry the sliced arrowhead. The fried chips has a slight salty taste which doesn't need further seasoning with salt.
