Recently I found some huge and pretty ngaku when I visited Chinatown in NYC. The price is pretty reasonable good! I asked the seller to pick for me the big one for easy peeling and slicing.I afraid to pick or choose the ngaku myself,afraid getting scold from the seller..You dunno how the Chinese seller in Chinatown react when you touch their merchandise..Some seller forbid you to pick or choose their merchandise..After peeling and slicing,I soaked the Ngaku in salt water for hours before frying..
3 lbs plus Ngaku/Arrowhead,peel and slice
2 tbsp sea-salt
3 cups oil for frying
1:Peel and slice,ngaku.Then soak Ngaku in cold water with salt for 2-3 hours.Drain Ngaku and set aside for drying.
2:Prepare frying pan with medium heat with oil.Add Ngaku one at a time in fryer,fry until lightly golden brown,then sieve out and place on parchment paper or newspaper to drain off the oil. .
3:When fried Ngaku cool down completely,store Ngaku in airtight container.

Oooh love these chips and who can resist. We usually buy these for Chinese New Year and boy are they expensive during the festivals. I can easily go through a bottle of this in front of the telly and not realize how much I've eaten until my fingers reach the bottom. :P
