Frozen Murtabak


Count: 4 pieces
Price: $8 a bag
Acar bawang: $2

Instructions on how to reheat the murtabak:
1. Place a slice or two of the murtabak on a plate and heat it in a microwave for 15 secs. Turn it around and heat it again for another 15 secs, or until warm.
2. Heat a non-stick frying pan on a low heat.
3. Fry the murtabak until both sides are a bit crispy. No oil needed.

We served the murtabak with onion pickles ('acar bawang') or curry.

Recipe for acar bawang: Cut red onions into thin slices and place it in a big bowl. Add some vinegar, water and lots of sugar. Stir the mixture and let cool in the fridge for about an hour before serving. Can last till a week or two if store in the fridge.

Estimated measurement: 1/2 big red onion to make acar bawang for 4 pieces of murtabak.

To make the batter: Mix together rice flour, a spoon of corn starch, a pinch of lime water, tumeric powder, salt and water. The batter should be thick (like the batter for fried banana/'pisang goreng') to ensure it covers all of the surface area. Fry it on high heat.

Estimated measurement: 1 cup rice flour to fry 20 pieces of 'kuih kacang'.

Fried mung beans. Sweet mung beans on the inside with crunchy, salty layer of rice flour on the outside.
