Penang Loh Bak / Deep-fried Beancurd Roll

January 25, 2013

Beancurd Roll




Posted 25th January 2013
Another festive atmosphere is in the air, mostly happening in Blog World.

In almost every blog I visited, I see scrumptious traditional and modern bake/ spread alike. I could only imagine the taste of almond cookies, peanut  cookies, kuih bakul or Ti Kueh (Chinese Golden Sweet Sticky Rice cakes), and many more... *sigh*

Yes...  Chinese New Year celebration in 16 days' time... woohoo... we will soon say hello to the Year of the Snake... my year (hehe... I am letting the world know how *old* I am ...)

I am Kiasu (don't want to miss out)
Hubby and I experimented and made Penang Loh Bak or Beancurd Roll for the first time.



Loh Bak is definitely something new to me.
...my first bite?, many... many Chinese New Year ago... my late Mother-in-law prepared, rolled and fried Loh Baks with love... 

But now.. we have to rely on H's good memories (which sometimes failed him too, getting 'wiser' aka OLD) and do the best we can to make our Chinese New Year with kids... memorable

Penang Loh Bak / Beancurd Roll recipe is easy to make at home.

Making and savoring Loh Baks definitely invoke that nostalgic Chinese New Year mood... and its good to enjoy such delicacy once a year, not more... for I have a great phobia of deep frying food  (fried oily food seems good in navigating its way and happily settled on my thigh, tummy, and butt ... )

Have a wonderful weekend peeps...
and to my Oz friends "Have a happy, relaxing 3-day long *Australia Day* weekend... *double thumbs up*"

    Hello Lisa
    I just had my lunch but I don't mind to have a few pieces from you now because this seems too good to say no to.... I wish I can have this without me to make it....soooooo delicious. I love this.

    Hi Lisa.. Looks yummy. I have not tried this before but it looks like the Ngoh Hiang that I am more familiar with.

    Beautiful lobak. I just want to grab a few of it. I like how you roll out the lobak. It is different :) By the way, are you sharing the recipe for the cucur udang. I like the thin cripy version like the one on the 1st picture.

    I love "Loh Bak" and yours (and H's) looks scrumptious! It's the five spice powder which makes the oomph;)

    That is such a good idea. Is bean curd skin the same thing as tofu skin...? I want to try a veggie version of this recipe. Yum.

      Look along the dried food aisle in the Asian grocer for dried beancurd skin but Best check with your Asian grocer... could be different terminology use.
      My interpretation of tofu is wet that comes in 4x4 inch x 1 inch high :)
