Recipe: Fried Kuih Sayur

This was usually served as after-school snack in our family. It is one of the popular demand snacks. So instead of the agak-agak version, I am recording down the actual amount used this round. This way, my children would be able to prepare and enjoy the 'kuih' anytime in the future.

This served merely as a guide to the main ingredients. Sometimes, I like it with more plain flour and less self-raising (my husband's liking), and most of the time I did it without spring onion and carrot. So, you get what I mean? Just play around with it...the ingredients : )

Oh ya, I named it 'Fried Kuih Sayur' based on the ingredients hehee.

Ingredients:

• 450g lobak (white radish), coarsely grated
• 1/2 onion, diced
• 2 stalks of spring onion, diced - optional (may substitute with more onion instead)
• 50g carrot, coarsely grated - optional (may substitute with more lobak instead)
• 2 eggs
• 3/4 tsp salt 
• 1/8 tsp pepper
• 30g rice flour (or some leftover rice)
• 220g plain flour
• 145g self raising flour
• 450g water

1. Mix all ingredients till well combined.
2. With med-high heat, place a spoonful of battle into a frying pan. Repeat 
3. Fry till brown on both sides.
4. Serve hot. We like it with hot chili sauce!

Dipping - optional

• 2 tbsp of hot chili sauce
• juice of 7 limes
• 3 finely minced garlic

Mix all! We like it this way,  limy and garlicky...yum!
