"Keropok
lekor" or fish crackers/sausages, as it is commonly
known in Malaysia is a traditional Malay snack
made from fish, which is popular among Malaysian people.
Nutritionally, keropok lekor is rich in protein, calcium
and potassium. The product is made by mixed minced fish
meat with tapioca starch, salt, sugar and margarine.
The mixture is then molded into cylinder form, steamed
or boiled, cooled and packed. Shelf-life of keropok lekor
is enhanced
by adding modified waxy corn starches.

lekor's preparation consists of deep frying the sausage
and best eaten while hot with chilly sauce.
