Fried Noodle

Noodle, the pasta loved by everyone in my family except for Yasmin. She prefers western pasta to eastern. The only eastern pasta she enjoys is the Japanese Soba.

The local pasta that I usually cook is this yellow noodle and bee hoon (rice vermicelli). There are a lot of styles to cook this pasta. One of our favourites is Fried Noodle.

First is to boil pieces of beef or chicken. This is to produce beef stock & also to make the beef tender. Moreover the process of cooking is shorter. While waiting, you can prepare the other ingredients.

Pound or slice shallots & garlic. Saute in a wok.



Join in chilly paste once the sauted ingredients turn slightly golden with aromatic smell.



Keep stirring until the paste is cooked & add in the beef stock together with beef.


I use dark soy sauce & oyster sauce for seasoning.



Put in dried tofu with fish cake & sawi (chinese mustard) stem.

I happened to have prawns in the fridge & decided to cook that with my noodle. Normally, I don't.

Next in the wok is the chinese mustard leaves.

The yellow noodle I use. Whenever I cook this noodle I always run hot water onto it. This is to get rid off the chalky taste.

Before putting in the noodle, taste the sauce. It should be salty a bit. If not add in salt. Stir well.

Best to serve immediately. I usually use chinese celery & homemade crispy fried shallots for garnishing. Enjoy your Fried Noodle.
