A different kind of "Suan Pan Zi" (Abacus)
0 Comments Published by pink dimple on Sunday, April 29, 2007 at 9:10 PM.
I always like my mum's version of Suan Pan Zi. The traditional kind looks like small flattened balls but I like to do things differently.. ha ha.. so I made mine into long strips.. kind of like slice fish cake but thicker:) The texture is still chewy and has a strong flavor of yam...yummy! See below:

The ingredients in making my "Suan Pan Zi":
1: Mixed coriander and spring onions (you can add chives if you like)

2: Diced Dried Shrimps and Chilli paste (I like mine spicy ;p)

3: Bean Sprouts

And my final product:

Okay let talks about the "look" of the suan pan zi. I apologise for the poor quality of these photos, normally my handphone camera takes very nice and sharp photos but unfortunately I dropped it on the floor and it seems that the camera function is out!!!! (ya, I screamed so loud! heart pain AHHHH!!) So now, I am using my OLD handphone camera and as you can see, it's not very clear... please bear with me until I get a better camera... hopefully soon. BUT! nevertheless, these "suan pan zi" taste really good, a bit spicy but good! My brothers (btw I have 4 brothers, YAP! I am the rose amongst the thorns..ha ha ) loved it so much that they requested that I made it again the next weekend!!!......:@ "faint".... only if they knew how difficult the process in making these delicious "suan pan zi"
