Try These Crunchy Arrowhead Chips
Arrowhead chips are rare snacks that are mainly served during Chinese New Year. It symbolises benevolence, which is a good trait for anyone to have! Arrowhead chips are seasonal starchy tubers with a natural hint of sweetness in them. Their texture is quite similar to those of potatoes, but it’s more grainer, which makes it the perfect candidate for crunchy chips! ?

You may think making these chips may be easy, but you’re wrong. Each piece of chip is sliced thinly from the generally tough arrowhead plant. They can’t be washed with water, because they soak up water really fast, and frying them later would take a longer time. These slices are then usually air-dried for a couple of hours, before being salted and tossed into bubbling hot oil. The crunchy taste is truly worth all the hard work, and Mum’s Recipe definitely promises it! ?
