Fried Taukwa with Honey Peanut

I created this recipe with inspiration from a local dish called Rojak which uses prawn sauce and peanuts. I opted to make a sweet version instead.

Ingredients
1 pc of tau kwa extra firm tofu
Honey
1 tablespoon fine sugar
2 tablespoon of crushed peanut
Cornflour
Some cooking oil

Method
Cut a piece of tau kwa into 12 pcs.
Make sure you dry tau kwa.
Coat with corn flour n fry till golden brown.
Set aside on plate.
Mix 2 tablespoon of crushed peanuts with one tablespoon of fine sugar.
Drizzle honey onto tofu .
Scatter sugar peanuts on top n serve.

After frying - absorb oil using kitchen paper towels.

Drizzle honey - I love orange blossom honey.

Mix 1 tablespoon of sugar with 2 tablespoon of crushed peanuts

Plate it and serve! You can also serve with your own sambal chilli if you prefer a spicier dish.

 

Enjoy cooking!

Honey Rice Krispies and Cornflake Cups

 

 

With Hari Raya, just around the corner, I could not help but think of all the goodies my neighbor used to give me including the cornflake cups.  So I went to try the recipe from Noobcook blog. Last year I tried but failed to do it properly and got stuck to the cups.  This year I am so glad to have succeeded and I made 2 versions.
