These Fried Anchovies With Onions And Chili are a popular Malaysian bar snack. It's also served as an appetizer or side dish at most home. The anchovies should remain crispy, slightly salty, sour, spicy and the onions are lightly softened without the raw taste. 

There are a wide variety of ways to serve fried crispy anchovies. One of the most well known uses for it would be serving it along with Nasi Lemak, a popular dish in Malaysia. Other examples of how it can be used include, pounding them finely to add into rice porridge, as a topping for varieties of noodles, flavouring for many sambal dishes, and are great for making snacks. Whichever way you want to have it, make sure to check out my video and learn how to prepare these crispy anchovies.

I made this dish last weekend. The Steamed Taro Cake turned really good and I am very pleased with the result. It is soft with a light firm texture and chock full of yams in every bite. *This is an updated post with a video cooking guide.

This is one of my favorite stir-fry rice vermicelli with clams or known as Fried LaLa Bee Hoon in Hokkien dialect. It's a popular dish in Malaysia, and yet it's so easy to make it at home. Here, I have used frozen clams, but you can always opt for fresh clams, if available.

Here is a wonderful version of the popular Kuih Kosui, flavored with pure pandanus juice. This makes a great afternoon snack and fantastic with tea or coffee.
