Some time ago our friend Ann featured her stewed ee fu noodles recipe on her blog and that got me interested to try the recipe at home. But alas, I bought the wrong type of noodles and ended up cooking with Hokkien flat noodles instead! Hee hee. Anyway, it was a fun attempt and we quite enjoyed the noodles afterwards.
So here’s my anyhow humtam stir-fry noodles’ recipe :D
Ingredients
§ Hokkien flat noodles – 300g
§ Dried shiitake mushrooms – 4, soak in hot water for 15 minutes, cut into strips. Reserve the soaking liquid.
§ Fresh button mushrooms – 1 pack, brushed and sliced
§ Enoki (golden mushrooms) – 1 pack, cut away substrate
§ Lettuce – 6 leaves, torn into smaller portions
§ Carrot – 1 stick, peeled and sliced
§ Meat: slice lean pork / minced pork / chicken fillet strips / medium prawns – 80g (marinate the meat, except for prawns, in light soy sauce and pepper)
§ Garlic – 3 cloves, diced
§ Shallots – 6 bulbs, diced
§ Corn starch – 1 tsp
§ Oyster sauce
§ Light soy sauce
§ Pan salt
§ White ground pepper
§ Olive oil – 2 tbsps
Method
1) Heat up olive oil in a heated wok over medium heat.
2) Add garlic and shallots to stir-fry until fragrant and lightly brown.
3) Add carrots and stir-fry briefly.
4) Add button mushrooms and stir-fry until fragrant and about to soften. Add shiitake, enoki and meat and continue to stir-fry for until meat is cooked.
5) Add noodles and loosen it up with chopsticks. Dissolve corn starch in the reserved shiitake liquid and pour it over the noodles. Mix quickly. The noodles will absorb the liquid.
6) Dispense oyster sauce from its bottle by going 2 rounds over the noodles. Add 1 tsp of pan salt and dashes of pepper. Stir well.
7) Once the noodles are hot enough, add the lettuce and give the noodles a good stir to just soften the lettuce.
8) Serve immediately with cut chilli padi dipped in premium light soy sauce.
Note: I added a bit more water to the noodles during cooking as I like my noodles to have a moist texture. Oh ya, all my recipes serve 2.5 persons – 1.5 for Yang and 1 for me :)
