Rempeyek Kacang (Crispy Peanuts Fritters) 【炸花生饼】

I always buy this fritter as a snack from Kopitiam (Coffee shop) near my house when I was young. I remembered paying 5 cents apiece years back, I loved the taste of spices and the crunchiness of it. 

Rempeyek is normally made in round shape using a special metal mould back home. Since I do not have a mould here , I used the Javanese method to make it, which is to flow the batter by the side of hot wok and later push it down into hot oil using a turning spade to deep fry.

小时候很喜欢这款炸花生饼，是每次去咖啡店都要买的一款小点心。我还记得多年前一块炸花生饼是5分钱。不晓得现在一块多少钱呢？

炸花生饼在马来西亚一般是圆形的，用一种类似勺子的平底模子铺上米糊和花生炸酥。我手上没有模子，所以就做了印尼款的花生饼，把米糊淋在锅边定型后再铲到热油里炸酥。

5. Add peanuts and anchovies into the batter.

6. Heat up 2 inches of oil, take a ladle full of batter and let it flow by the side of  the wok, it should sticks to the side pretty soon. Let it cook for about 45 seconds or until it is set.
