My Version of Egg Noodles

I've been craving wan tan mee for the past week but we've just never gotten around to having it.

So today after sending my sister to class I stopped by the supermarket & picked up a few things to make it at home. Minus the wan tan lol.

If you can't buy it, make it 😎

Let's get started!

Oh and this recipe is for 1.

Here are the things you will need:

1. 1 small carrot, sliced
2. Japanese sawi aka gai choy, as much as you like. Half chopped, half left whole
3. 3 pips garlic, finely chopped
4. small piece of ginger, finely chopped
5. 1 green/red chilli, chopped
6. 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
7. 1/4 teaspoon light soy sauce
8. 2 tablespoons oyster/abalone sauce
9. 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
10. 1/4 cup water
11. Egg noodles - I bought a random packet from the supermarket with 4 servings. I suppose any brand works

Here's how you make it:

1. For the sauce, heat a pan over the stove and put in the garlic, then ginger, then chillies. Stir-fry for a little bit.
2. Turn down the heat to medium and add the oyster/abalone sauce, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, sesame oil & water. Mix it all together.
3. Add the chopped carrots and then the sawi. Let simmer for a minute or so and turn off heat.
4. In a pot, boil some water & blanch the sawi that was left whole. Remove & set aside. Replace pot with fresh water & leave to boil.
5. Remove egg noodles from packet & loosen it up. Place in pot once water starts to boil & cook for about 2 minutes. It should still have a bit of a bite to it unless you like it soft, then cook for a little longer. Remove from water and place in a bowl.
6. Mix the sauce with the noodles & palce blanched whole sawi on top. Enjoy hot!

That's all there is to it!

You can add any other extra ingredients if you want, like chicken, prawns, fishcake, scallions to garnish etc.

Happy cooking 😁

Fried Udon

I'll be sharing a very simple Fried Udon recipe today. I remember making this one night after a long day of classes. Took me less than 15 minutes. It kinda looks like mamak mee goreng because of the noodles but I like this udon better than the yellow mee that is usually used for fried noodles. Chanced upon this packet of Instant Japanese Fresh Udon once while grocery shopping & it didn't disappoint! This recipe is for 1. Here are the things you will need: 1. Instant Japanese Fresh Udon - 1 pack #Tip: This is the one that I've used so far. I'm sure there are many variations of fresh-packed udon in the supermarket so you can take your pick. 2. Sawi (Mustard greens) - as much as you like 3. Fish balls - 1 small packet 4. Dried chili paste - 2 to 3 tbsp (or however much you like) 5. Oyster sauce - 1 tbsp 6. Light soy sauce - 1 tsp 7. Minced garlic - 3 to 4 pips 8. 1 small onion - chopped 9. Water - 3 tbsp 10. Oil (I usually use

Carrot & Potato Soup

I made this carrot & potato soup for lunch one weekend afternoon after days of eating out & it was delightfully easy to make. To be honest it was more of a puree because it was really thick & creamy but I didn't mind it. It goes really well with bread or baguette. This recipe is for 1 Here are the things you will need: 1. 1 large carrot - diced 2. 1 large/2 small potatoes - diced 3. 10 to 12 tbsp of milk #Tip: I always use full cream milk but any other milk is fine 4. 1 tsp of butter #Tip: Not a must but will enhance flavour. Avoid margarine like the plague. 5. Ground black pepper - 2 tsp (or however much you like) #Tip: Try to avoid flavoured pepper as it alters the taste of your dish quite a bit 6. Salt to taste Here's how you make it: 1. Fill up a pot with water, add in some salt & bring to a boil. Add the diced carrots & potatoes. Boil until soft. Strain. 2. Mash carrots & potatoes. If you have a blende
