This is how I make my fish paste or fish cake whenever I wanted to make stuffed tofu. The stuffed tofu or "yong tofu" is a very famous Hakka dish, which I learnt from my father in law. I never is a good cook before I got married and I seldom cook as well cause need to work. But after married, I need to cook often whenever going to my parents in law place. So from there, I started my cooking journey. And thanks to my father in law for this, otherwise, hubby won't be able to taste his traditional dish anymore. Please read on for more.

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...
