Eggless Savoury Chives Pancake 无蛋韭菜薄烤饼

It is very common that the Chinese pancake is cooked without adding in eggs. Mainly because of cost saving. In older days, egg is precious especially for the poor.

1 tspn salt (to your taste)
1/2 tspn vegetarian granules
500ml water
1 cup garlic chives, rinsed & cut into bite size
30-40gm dried shrimps, soaked & pounded

Method :
(1) combine flour, baking powder & water into a mixing bowl and beat till well cooperated.
(2) next, stir in salt, granules & chinese chives.
(3) preheat a wok with 3 tablespoon of cooking oil, and saute dried shrimp till crispy & fragrant. Then off the heat and transfer everything to the flour mixture. And fold mixture till everything is well mixed.
(4) preheat frying pan with some cooking oil, then spread 2-3 scope of batter onto frying pan and cook till brown then flip to the other side and did the same thing. Till everything is done. Cut & serve it with chili sauce.

This savoury pancake is simply delicious. Its good to serve at anytime anywhere, especially when you're at outdoor camping. Hope you guys will love it too. Enjoy and have a great week ahead.

Keropok Lekor Terengganu 登嘉楼特色炸鱼饼

I can't believe it myself that I'm actually making keropok lekor !!! Gosh, never in my life I would imagine myself making this, Terengganu fish cracker ! Its hubby favourite. I actually wanted to buy some of these during my last visit to Terengganu but hubby said NO ! However, I knew I'm going to give this a shot when I reached home and this is it. I have fulfilled it. Keropok lekor is the specialty of the east and it is normally made with small fishes or leftover fishes from the market place. Unlike the common fish cracker which is thin and crispy, keropok leko r is slightly thicker and fishy flavoured. And I have chosen to use ikan kembung (scomber or bloating fish ) for the test run, cause its cheap and meaty compare to other small fishes. Ingredients : 1 kg ikan kembung or bloating fish 1/2 cup water 1 tspn vegetable granules 2 tspn salt 1 tspn pepper 200-250gm tapioca starch Meth...
