Keropok Lekor - Fish Snack

Sometimes I miss keropok lekor or fish snack. This fish snack is very popular in Malaysia. Here is my American version of the keropok lekor.
All I need is this bumble bee brand tuna
2/3 cup corn starch
1/3 cup flour
A pinch of salt
Olive oil to fry

Drain tuna. Then add corn starch. Mix well. Then add flour and a pinch of salt. Mix well. Use hand to combine and transfer it into a big zip loc bag.
Shape it into a log.
Remove it from the plastic bag and cut it at an angle using a sharp knife.
Take one piece and flatten it lengthwise. Deep fry this in hot oil until golden brown.
This mixture yields about 15 pieces of keropok lekor. Serve warm. Drizzle with sweet chilli sauce or sauce chili lingham. Yummy!

There is another longer version of keropok lekor that is to boil the mixture until it float.

This quick version is good enough for me. You can also shape this whatever way you like. Enjoy!

Popiah Basah (with Lingham's sauce)

I took my car for inspection today. Since the workshop was already near the Asian store, I stopped at Little Saigon to get some spices, black soy sauce and Oyster sauce. One my way back, I stop at another asian store, Kim's Oriental. I walked isle by isle. I saw durian 2 pieces for $5.99. That is pricy. I didn't buy. I picked up a box of my favorite bee hoon instant noodle. There are 30 packets inside the box and it cost me only $6.80. I bought 5 packets of spices of Indo brand. A packet of ketupat Nona and shrimp crackers.

I kept on walking until my eyes caught the Lingham's chili sauce. I could not believe this. I bought 2 bottles for now. I kept on walking hoping to see kipas udang soy sauce by any chance. But hopeless.

I bought kohlrabi, my favorite bulb that has mild cabbage taste since they are all look very fresh.

I also buy popiah basah wrapper and kuih bom. The filling of the kuih bom ( the ball with sesame seeds) is mung bean paste. They are not too sweet but good enough to my taste.

So, for my dinner today, I assembled a simple popiah basah.

Fillings:

1 kohlrabi (julianned)

1 stick of carrot (julianned)

1 cup of beans sprout.

Sauce:

3 tablespoon Lingham's Chilli Sauce

1/2 teaspoon oyster sauce

1/2 teaspoon dark soy sauce

1/2 teaspoon ketchup

Mix all the ingredients for the sauce. Taste to your liking. Lingham's chilli sauce is very hot for me. That is why I added ketchup a little bit.

In a pot, boil water and add salt. Blanch kohlrabi, and carrot for about 3 minutes. Toss and put aside. Blanch beans sprout for 1 minute. Toss and combine with the rest of the filling.

Spread about 1/2 teaspoon of the sauce thinly on the wrapper. Put a tablespoon of the filling at the edge and roll one time, then fold on both side first before rolling the rest of the wrapper.

Serve immediately.
