HAKKA MEE

HAKKA MEE 




Man! this is so easy to make, even my wife is capable of making this! My first encounter with hakka mee was in an open parking lot at night in Seramban. The place, a parking lot by day, was transformed to a makeshift hawker centre at night. I wanted something plain and simple, and was blown away by the taste in spite of it's simplicity! It was just minced pork with noodles but never have I ever had something that looked so plain but tasted so good!

The next time I had this was in a more luxurous setting. I was at The Gardens and walked into Ying Ker Lou and wanted something light. I tried the hakka noodles there and enjoyed it so much I ordered seconds! :-p Now u can find it in almost every coffeeshop! I managed to get the proper hakka noodles at the chilled section of the supermarket. Some substitute it with air dried instant noodles, but since the real thing is available, why not?

Ingredients

1 portion Hakka mee

Pork lard

200g minced pork

1 tablespoon minced garlic

Light soy sauce

Fish sauce

Crispy pork fat

Spring onions

Sliced chillies

Method

In a hot pan add some pork oil, sautee the garlic

Add the minced pork, 1 teaspoon light sou sauce, fish sauce and 3 tablespoons water

Cook till the mince pork separates then put it aside

In a pot of boiling water, cook the noodles for a minute. Remove the noodleswash it in cook water to remove excess starch and put it in the pot for another 10secs, then plate it

Dress the noodles with 2 teaspoons of light soy sauce and fish sauce, put the minced pork on top and garnish with crispy pork fat, spring onions and sliced chillies



Just look at that! Nice springy, tasty noodles! How can u not want that! So easy to make and unbelieveably tasty! Try it! No regrets, that's for sure!

Enjoy, everyone, 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.
