Wheat Noodle Soup

We all enjoy this tasty "mi-hoon" in hokkein (wheat) noodles especially when the weather is wet and cool. I got these fresh wheat n egg noodle from the wet market. If you cannot get the fresh ones, alternatively, use the dried packet wheat and egg noodles from the hypermart..taste good too.

I like this fresh wheat n egg noodles as it is non-oily also free from boric acid and coloring as compared to the fresh yellow noodle. Give a try as it is very simple to cook, just make sure you get the soup right. The onion brings a natural sweetness to the soup, and gives the soup a nice aroma. Alternatively, the soup can be made up of a handful of lightly fried ikan billis (anchovis) - not so healthy for those with high cholestrol!!

You see the sambal belacan in the photo...it blends well with the noodle as compared to chilly padi in soya sauce! (Optional - depends on individual taste) For us in the family, the sambal is Ohhh...so yummy and a good blend of taste to the bowl of noodle. Here it goes for lazy and busy mum.....
