Dried Spinach Noodle

Hey...look at this bowl of delicious dried spinach noodle with crispy chilly anchovis. It is a simple meal for the family and it taste great.... I have garnished the noodle with minced meat, japanese sea spinach, half boiled eggs and a spoonful of sambal ikan bilis.. Yum! Yum!

The purpose of the half boiled egg is to enrich and smoothen the blanched spinach noodle. Spinach noodle comes in a dried pack and easily obtainable from hypermarket or the grocery stores.
Simple Process :

1. Stir fry the minced meat with some chopped onions adding light soy sauce, oyster sauce to give it a good flavour, set aside
2. Prepare the half boiled eggs and set aside
3. Soak the japanese sea spinach to soften it, no cooking is required
4. Just blanched the dried spinach noodle, garnish it with the half boiled eggs, cooked
minced meat, japanese sea spinach, add 1 Tbs crispy chilly anchovis and serve



This is how the plate of noodle looks like when it is all mixed before eating....so rich and delicious!

Have an Enjoyable n Happy Meal!

Dried WanTon Noodle

This is my simple version of Dried WanTon Noodle. Wanton noodles are made from wheat flour. We love WanTon Noodle that is "springy" in taste when cooked. There are some that goes "soggy" when blanched in boiling water. No wanton (dumpling) is served in this meal instead I have some cooked minced meat in dark soy and oyster sauce with asparagus mushrooms instead. Simple to prepare and great to taste, good for days where I have tight work schedule and still keep the family happy with a healthy meal at home....

All you need:

• packet wanton noodle
  
• some minced meat
• dark soy sauce
• oyster sauce
• some asparagus mushroom
• some green leafy vegetables
• sprig of spring onion - chopped
  
• 6 pips of garlic - chopped
  

Simple Process :

1. Heat the wok with a little oil, saute the garlic till aromatic, add the minced meat
2. Add the dark soy sauce and oyster sauce, a dash of pepper, stir fry
3. Add a small bowl of water to allow the meat to simmer for 10 minutes, add in the asparagus mushroom or other choices of mushroom
4. Add a little cornstarch to lightly thicken the gravy. As the noodle soaks up the gravy very quickly, do have extra gravy to standby

Next....
1. Blanched the wanton noodle in boiling water till it has soften - drain dry
2. Standby a plate with 1 Tbs dark soy sauce, 1/2 Tbs sesame oil, the green leafy vegetables
3. Put the drained noodle and mixed well with the mixture on the plate
4. Serve with the cooked meat and mushroom toppings on top

The noodle is blanched and mixed with 1 Tbs shallots oil to keep it moist and to give an added flavour to the noodle.

Simple to make and good to eat!

This is the dried pan noodle & dried japanese spinach used

To give a spicy taste to the dried pan noodle, just add 1 Tbs of this Crispy Prawns Chilly, obtainable from hypermarket or grocery store
