Keropok ikan parang (Crackers ikan parang)

Recently, I found the "keropok ikan parang" which came from Terengganu state has the best taste. "keropok" means crackers. "Ikan" means fish. "Parang" means a Malay large long knife. Anyway, it is wolf-herring. In hokkien it's called "sai toa yee". Chinese like the fish ball which make by this wolf-herring. It is very famous and delicous.

How to make the ikan parang crackers ? This wolf-herring was cut, clean and blend it, became the fish paste. This paste add with salt, sugar, MSG.

Then it's mix together with the tapioca flour or called as "tepung kanji"or sago flour which called as "tepung sagu". The dough is long and cylinder in shape. This dough is either cook with braising or steaming.

The next process is make it dry and cool down and cut into thin pieces. All these pieces of crackers will be dry under the sunlight.

Prepare the coking oil and fried it. You can see it's expanding from the original size. Cool them and when you eat, it's crispy. Very delicious !
