Heard that one of our fellow Malaysian here take orders for Keropok lekor here in Jubail. We ordered 25 pieces of Keropok lekor which cost us 50 Riyal - 2 Riyal each. After 1 day of ordering, the keropok lekor finally arrived.
But no keropok lekor sauce provided. After google-ing, I found a few recipes for the sauce and I combined them together. This is my version of the sauce - Terengganu style
Ingredients:
Half Gula Melaka (Nissang in Terengganu dialect)
3 Tablespoons Blended Dried Chili
2 Tablespoons Tamarind juice (add water to tamarind paste to get juice)
2 Tablespoons Vinegar
1 Tablespoons Corn flour (diluted in water)
1 teaspoon of salt to taste
2 Cups Water
**Note - Gula melaka is not available in Saudi. You will have to bring from Malaysia. I got mine from my neighbour kak Maya who has quite plenty of the Gula Melaka. Alternatively, you may substitute with brown sugar for the caramalised taste.
** Tamarind paste could be found at asian stores in Jubail.
Cooking Instructions:
1. Place the Gula Melaka in a saucepan with water. Allow the Gula Melaka to dilute.
2. Add on blended chili, tamarind juice, vinegar, salt and cook at medium heat for 3 minutes.
3. Add cornflour and stir until the sauce thinkens.
4. Wait until the sauce has cooled down if you want to keep in a container for future dippings.
I deep-fried the Keropok Lekor. Sliced them into bite-sized pieces for my children to eat. Ok let's eat. Yummsss.
My family loves the keropok lekor and enjoy every bits of it. Might have to consider ccoking the keropok lekor as it might be cheeper cooking at home. Bye for now.
Note : Lekor or Keropok lekor is a traditional fish cracker snack for the Malay people in the county of Terengganu, Malaysia.[1][2] It is also called fish sausage, fish stick, or fish fritters. It is made from fish and sago flour and seasoned with salt and sugar. It is slightly greyish in colour and tastes fishy [ Information sourced from Wikipedia]
