The arrowhead also known as swamp potato comes into season and is often associated with the Chinese spring festival. Enjoy it by simply frying them and I would say this taste even better than potato chips. It's definitely more economical to fry it at home rather than store bought ones.
Ingredients:
Arrowhead bulbs (nga ku) Salt to taste Oil for deep frying
Step by Step:
1. Wash and skin arrowhead using a peeler leaving the stem head.
2. Holding the stem head, slice the arrowhead thinly using a mandolin slicer.
3. Heat the oil in a wok and deep fry the slices of arrowhead to a light, golden brown colour.
4. Do not overcrowd the wok when frying. Dish out and drain on paper towels.
(I'm frying small quantities that why I used only little bit oil. Don't want to waste oil or having a lot recycle oil). If you are frying alot, you can put more oil, faster in a way.
5. Lightly sprinkle some salt over the arrowhead slices.
6. Allow to cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
