I have been having some noodle cravings recently, in particular one of the dishes which my grandma and aunt cook whenever I'm home. The other day at the Chinese supermarket I saw a packet of Mamee noodles which look pretty legit, and so I bought them and decided to try cooking this dish.
Ingredients
Garlic, a few cloves, smashed
Pork slices
Fish slices
Chinese vegetables
Fishballs or fishcakes, sliced
Squid balls, sliced
Egg
Noodles
Corn starch (approx half a teaspoon) dissolved in some warm water
The good thing about this recipe is that you include however much you want for each person as they go over your noodles once done. You can also add prawns or chicken slices to add to the sweetness of this dish.
Using a deep pan, fry smashed garlic pieces in some oil
Add meat (pork/ fish/ chicken)
Add stems of vegetables
Add fishball or fish cake slices
Add squid ball slices
When about done, pour two bowls of water into the pan and let all ingredients boil and simmer for a while until vegetable stems are softened.
Add the leafy bits of the vegetables
Add fish sauce to taste
Once ingredients are cooked, sieve them out in a separate bowl
Add in some corn starch water to thicken the gravy
Add in noodles and bring to a boil, or cooked to your desired consistency
Scoop up noodles to a pasta plate
I had to add a bit of water from the kettle to top up the gravy at this stage
Crack an egg in the gravy and quickly bring to a boil
Add more fish sauce to taste if needed
Pour cooked ingredients on top of noodles and pour gravy onto the noodles
Enjoy!

Verdict? It was really good and I had it three meals in a row :)
