FrozenKeropok Lekor
(Malaysian fish crackers) can be cooked directly from the freezer using deep frying or air frying methods. For the best texture, deep frying is recommended as it produces a more consistent, crispy result, whereas air frying is a healthier, oil-free alternative.Deep Frying
Deep frying is the traditional method to achieve a puffy, golden-brown exterior and soft interior.
- Defrosting: Some experts recommend defrosting at room temperature for 1–2 hours or 10 minutes for vegan versions. However, others state you can fry them directly from frozen if you slice them while still slightly firm.
- Temperature: Heat oil in a deep pan to approximately 170°C–180°C.
- Cooking Time: Fry for 4–7 minutes until the crackers expand and turn golden brown.
- Technique: Use a medium fire to prevent them from bursting or becoming too hard on the outside before the inside is cooked.
Air Frying
Air frying is a popular "set and forget" method that uses significantly less oil.
Defrosting: Generally not required for original thick lekor, though thin cuts may need brief thawing to separate them easily.
Defrosting: Generally not required for original thick lekor, though thin cuts may need brief thawing to separate them easily.
- Temperature: Most sources suggest a setting of 180°C–200°C.
- Cooking Time:
- Thick/Original Lekor: 15–20 minutes.
- Bite-sized/Thin Pieces: 6–10 minutes.
- Technique: For better expansion and a less "dry" texture, lightly spray or brush the pieces with a thin layer of cooking oil before starting. Shake the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Serving
- Dipping Sauce: Always serve hot with a spicy, sweet chili dipping sauce, often Terengganu-style.
- Separation: If pieces stick together during frying, separate them immediately after they are removed from the oil while still hot.
- Leftovers: Cooked lekor can become tough once cold. To maintain the best texture, only fry the amount you intend to eat immediately.
