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 ...

Emergency Brownies ala Nigella

Really felt like having brownies today & I remember for Nigella week on Masterchef Australia recently, in one of the elimination challenges, the contestants had to make Nigella's brownies & they looked absolutely divine . Did some googling & found the exact same recipe! The ones I made were delicious. Perfectly ooey gooey, chewy, moist & chocolatey. Heaven. Although, there are a few things I'd tweak in the recipe. Like the amount of salt. I also watched a video of Nigella on the Rachel Ray show where she made her brownies & she mentioned how she likes quite a bit of salt in what she makes. So if you're not really into that then you can always cut down on the amount. But this is by far the best brownie recipe I've ever followed. Won't be using anything else after this. Let's get started, shall we? Here are the things you will need: 1. 50g all purpose flour 2. 50g cocoa powder 3. 40g soft brown sugar 4. a pinch of salt* ...

Quick & Easy Bruschetta

If you've been to any Italian restaurant, you'll recognise what this is. Bruschetta is an antipasto. Or a starter, if you will, before your main course. I used to have this as a snack quite a bit because it's so, so simple to make and it's rather healthy too! If you Google it, this is what you'll find: " Bruschetta is an antipasto from Italy consisting of grilled bread rubbed with garlic and topped with olive oil and salt." At home we usually have it with tomatoes and mushrooms, as shown in the pic above. I'll be sharing with you how to make this quick bite within minutes at home. This recipe is for 2. For the tomato topping, Here are the things you will need: 1. 1 Baguette 2. 1 very large/2 small tomatoes - diced; small cubes 3. 2 pips garlic - minced 4. 1/2 lemon - squeezed 5. 1/2 stalk Coriander - thinly chopped 6. Ground black pepper - 1 tsp 8. Butter 7. Salt to taste Here's how you make i...
