I bought this Arrowhead/Ngaku/Chiku to make chips.. I read blogs saying that it is easy to make and very nice and addictive, so I want to try.. Happen to see it in the market, so I quickly buy.. It cost me $4 per kg..
Its not the same as water chestnut, even though they look like... it is much bigger than chestnuts
There the comparison side by side :)
First, take one bulb
Using the peeler, peel the skin away, don't waste too much coz then, less chips for us :)
I don't have a slicer, so I used knife to slice as thinly as I can. It will be a breeze if there is slicer.. After it is peeled and sliced to chips thickness, soaked it in salt water
To avoid splashing during frying, I dry it on the newspaper/tissue backing
There you go, the end product :) It is nice and if want to make, better make in HUGE batches in one go to save the time from all the peeling and slicing.Good snack! I will make again when there is chance :)
