Nga Ku ( in cantonese) or what we called the ‘arrowhead’ or arrow roots made into chips will be one of favorite snacks come this Chinese New Year. Some people will use these to fry and simmer with duck meat or roasted pork. Today I had some ‘hot’ moments in the kitchen of Kenosis Home helping the ‘Phase 2′ residents to produce nga ku chips. Nga Ku can be bought in bulks from the wet market or hypermarkets like Giant or Tesco stores . They are imported from China and are usually available during the chinese festive season.
Nga Ku chips taste like potato chips and you can be quite addictive to them once the bottle cap is opened.
‘nga-ku’ or arrowheads. Peel the skin and slice them thinly for deep fry.

This is how they should look-crispy and lightly brown after fry. Lift them up from the oil .Toss, drain and cool over a basket laid with some serviettes to soak up any oil.
Bottle of nga-ku ready for sale at RM16.00 per bottle.
This is one of Kenosis Home project to help generate funds for the Home.
