Cantonese Fried Yee Mee

I have always been in love with the Cantonese Fried Yee Mee! Oh! Wait a minute!!! I think I’m in love with all cooking style of mee, noodles, bihun…however you called it. Not laksa! Don’t like them! Don’t like them in any cooking style for that matter except, Laksa Lemak Melaka or the Singapore Laksa. Ya, memang aku bias! : p

Economical Vegetarian Bihun

I cooked this easy peasy recipe last Friday. Made a lot to last me for 2 days of buka puasa and 2 pre-dawn meals. The kids were away for the weekend then so...yeah, malas la kan nak masak. If you are ever wondering, no, I have not turned into a vegan. I don't think I can. I can never live without my red meats! I didn't have anything else in the freezer then but had enough vege to finish before they rot so I've decided to put them together and come up with a masterpiece. Hehehe banyak la aku punye masterpiece! :p

So here, try tau jangan tak try...

1. Soak 1/2 packet of bihun in warm water. If you don’t like chewy bihun, use slightly hotter water. 
2. Add 1 tbs each of dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, sugar and sesame oil for bihun to absorb.
3. After half hour or so, drain bihun, but keep the liquid.
4. Fry 1 tbs garlic. Add vegetables/meat if you like. I used slightly more oil than usual. The original economical vegetarian bihun is always glistening with oil. So sebab nak bihun tu nampak gemilang I made it a little oily, kalau too dry tak cantik plak..hehe
5. Add bihun. Mix well to let bihun absorb the oil. If too dry, add some of the liquid that was used for soaking earlier.
6. Add 2 tbs dark soy sauce, 1 tbs light soy sauce, 1 tbs fish sauce, 1 tsp kicap manis (optional), salt and msg (optional) to taste.

Please note these are all estimates, add according to your own taste. I suke campak2 je kalau masak. Baru nampak macam pro! Heh!

Ok lah nanti malam kalau tak penat, kite sambung lagi...with a new recipe, eh bukan, tried and tested recipe...Cantonese Fried Yee Mee, I made yesterday for buka puasa. Sekarang I nak gi jejalan cari sofa baru!

Mee Kuah Mamak Ala Singapore

Salam y'all! It's been a while, hasn't it? I've been busy yet again with the professional aspect of my daily routine. That would be my excuse, as always! Nah! Truth is, every time after I break my fast, I will be sprawling on the couch on the balcony, letting the cool breeze of the night lull me to a half-sleep half-zombie state! Now, that’s the truth!

Turkey has been playing on my mind! No! Not that Turkey! Istanbul! I need to get out of here. I need a break and have been planning for another getaway with my favourite girls, my cousins and my beautiful niece. We went away to Bali for a spa retreat in April this year. That was like centuries ago la...I need to go away or I will die….of boredom!!! Urgh!!!

Okies! Let’s get back to business now. I was craving for the Mee Kuah Mamak, Singapore style for a long time now. It is only available in the Fine City and the last time I was there was 3 years ago. Fortunately, I have good friends who commute to Singapore quite frequently and would buy back special spices concoctions that you can never get in KL. And these good friends had generously given them to me to spice up my kitchen with my signature Singapore dishes.

Jom tengok gambar jom!!!

 

I am going to cook vegetarian bihun for tonight's iftar. Not that I'm a vegan but the fact that I don't have much left in the refrigerator to cook up anything fancy. Malas wanna go to the supermarket today! :p

Ciao bellas. Selamak berbuka.
