Everyone is my family loves to snack this kerepek bawang(onion crackers).During my working day,
One of my malay colleague bring some kerepek bawang to treat us,we chinese colleague loves it.So
every chinese new year we order from her.She stop taking order from us,due to two small children and her aunty did not want to help her.Once day she told me ,bought the ingredients come to my house and I will show you how to make.there is no written recipes.Roughly I jotted down the amount
of ingredients to use.The dough have to be quite stiff,so that easily can be cut into thin slice.

KEREPEK BAWANG (ONION CRACKER)

Ingredients;
Onion batter;
400g plain flour
200g big onion (blend to smooth paste)

 2 tsp salt (adjust to your taste)
1 tsp msg



Onion dough
In a bowl of blended onion,add salt,msg,use a spoon to stir well mix.Add the mix blended onion to the flour using hand to mix well combined and knead to a stiff dough.set aside.(can use the bread machine or use the hook to mix).Divide the dough into 6

Ingredients;
margarine batter

4450g flour
50g melted margarine
water roughly 12 tbsp ( slowly add in tbsp by tbsp)

margarine dough
In a mixing bowl mix all the ingrdeints together to get the stiff dough.Mix longer period to get the texture smoother.Divide the dough into 6

Method;
1.Dust the working surface with some plain flour,put a pieces of dough onto the flourd surface. Roll
the dough flat with a rolling pin ,do the same with the margarine dough.
2.Put the margarine dough first and top with the onion dough,should be the same equal size. Roll like the swiss roll,roll tightly so that is no hole in between.Do the rest of dough the same way.
3.use a very sharp knife.  on a choppong board  place the roll batter,trimed off the end,cut into a thinly sliced.after cutting a few slice roll it round then cut,doing it in between cuting and roll round.
4.After slicing put into a big plate,don't overlap or it will stick together.Don;t dust with flour.
5.In a wok ,heat a wok of oil,when the oil is hot,put in pieces by pieces to deep fry,when it turn slightly brown in colour,dish out and drain off the oil..When it cooled store in an air tight ontainer.

Tips ; can use a pasta machine using no.7 to press flatten,fold into three and flatten again for 3 -4 times.Then change to no;4 to press flatten and fold into three and flatten again for 3-4 times.
then layer the margine roll and the onion roll together and slice thinly.If your dough is soft,have diffculty to slice thinly,put your dough in the freeze to frozen for a few hour.Take out from fridge,have to be fast in slicing and quickly put into a wok of hot oil,to deep fry or it defrosted the sliced pieces will be sticky. the important part the dough have to be a bit stiff.  All the years i hand roll it cos; i do not own the pasta machine.I just got this pasta machine two year  from the second hand store.
