 BAK CHOR MEE



There are many variations of this dish but what u see here is the version made popular by the stall at Fengshan Hawker Centre. The queuse there are at times rridiculously long, so for those of you who don't want to queue or are too far away, this recipe is for you, especially if you're only preparing only a bowl. A quick and easy way to solve your cravings. This is by no means exactly like the original, but it's really very close to it.

Ingredients

1 portion thin egg noodles

200g minced pork

Some pork balls

Half of an ikan bilis cube

Spring onions, chopped

some cut chillies

Some crispy pork lard

2 teaspoons oyster sauce

2 teaspoons sesame seed oil

Method

Cook the noodles according to instructions on the pack. The ones I use only takes about 45secs

Marinade the minced pork with oyster sauce and sesame seed oil

In a pot with just enough water for the soup, cook the meatballs and the minced pork. It is important to use just enough water for the soup so the flavours will not be diluted as we want the pork flavour from the minced pork

When the soup is done, pour it over the noodles and garnish with spring onions and crispy pork lard and it's ready to serve!

This is a really simple way to make this and it will satisfy your cravings! 

Enjoy, and stay safe! 


These recipes are good for those who want to cook for one or two without going all out but still wanting to enjoy good food. Simple to prepare and tasty food every time!

  CHAR SIU Now, just look at thise yummulicious goodness! Yes, it can be made at home too! In your oven toaster! you read it right! Oven toaster! That's how I make my char siu for one! The secret is all in the marinade, and I normally make enuf to marinade at least 1kg of meat, but after making the marinade, cook it for a while, till it boils and all the sugar is melted and it can be kept for months in the fridge. If u need to use it in small portions, follow the method below. Good enuf for a plate of wantan and charsiu noodles.
