Penang Fried Kuih Kark (Radish cake) Recipe


I tried out this fried Penang kuih kark (radish cake, loh bak koh) recipe wihout using Borax water (air abu, kan sui, alkaline), which is not good for people with weak digestive system. Air Abu is supposed to make the texture of kuih kark more 'springy'. However, since I cooked this as breakfast for my eldest son before he leaved home for school, early in the morning, I wanted something simple as possible or 'with a shortcut procedure'.
Actually, steam the rice cake at night and put them in the fridge overnight so that it has a more solid texture and not so sticky. It also cut down the time I needed to prepare this dish in the morning.

Here is my kuih kark recipe

Ingredients
FOR RICE CAKE
Rice Flour, 2 cups
Corn Flour, 3 tablespoons
Water, 4 cups
Salt to taste

FOR FRYING THE RICE CAKE
Taugeh (beansprout), 1 bowl
Salted Radish (Chai Poh), 2 tablespoons
Garlic, 5 cloves, chopped finely
Chilly paste, 1 table spoon (optional)
Dark soya sauce, 1 tablespoon
Light soya sauce, 2 tablespoon
Pepper, to taste
Eggs, 2 pcs
Vegetable oil, 2 tablespoon
Salt to taste

Mix all the rice cake ingredients and steam in high heat for 20 to 30 minutes. Let the rice cake cool down preferably overnight. Cut the rice cake into small cubes. Heat up wok and put in the vegetable oil. Saute garlic and chai poh until fragrant. (Be careful, chai poh can really 'jump' out from the wok when hot!). Put the the rice cake cubes. Pour in the dark soya sauce and light soya sauce. Fry until the dark soya sauce coat the rice cake evenly. Put in the chilli paste.  Add a little more oil and put in the eggs. Add pepper and a little light soya sauce. Fry until the eggs are cooked and then add in the taugeh (beansprouts). All salt to taste. Serve while still hot.

Labuan Tok Tok Mee (Noodles) Recipe



After tasting the flavouful Labuan Tok Tok Mee, I cook up a similar one at home using the dried mee cap udang (dried prawn brand noodle) that I bought from the mini market there. The dried noodles might looked like normal instant noodle to you, but it is actually very tasty and full of flavours.
The original Labuan Tok Tok Mee has a rich prawn and meat based broth. However, at home I just used whatever I have in my fridge to make the broth. The final result was quite good and my kids gobbled up all the noodles in a jiffy! LOL!

Ingredients
Labuan Mi Cap Udang, Soak in water to soften or blanched briefly in boiling water
Prawns, 5 medium
Meat balls, 5 pcs
Crab Stick, 5 pcs
Meat, 100 gms
Carrot, cut into slices (optional)
Corn flour with water mixture
Salt to taste

Coat the noodles with a little dark soya sauce and fry them in a very hot wok. Put the noodle aside. Pour around 7 rice bowls of water in a pot and bring to a boil. Add meat, prawns, carrot and crab stick. Bring to a boil and add corn flour to thicken the soup. Add salt to taste. Pour the soup over the fried mee cap udang. Garnish with spring onions and serve.

How did Tok Tok Mee (Noodles) Get Its Name - Chinese Bamboo Clapper

When I was growing up in my hometown in Butterworth, there was a mobile (bicycle typed push cart) wantan mee hawker who uses a pair of bamboo clapper to attract customers. As the sound goes "tok, tok, tok", which anounces his arrival in our area would always excite us as a kid! I would quickly ask my mom for some money to buy a plate of wantan mee aka Tok Tok Mee; that is what we called it then. My good childhood friend would run back to his grandma's grocery shop and ask her for some money to buy one plate too. Then both of us would sit outside my house and savour our deliciousTok tok  mee! Those were the good old days. The tok tok mee sure tasted really good back then and until now I could not find any hawkers that could match the taste.


I came across tok tok mee again during my recent trip to Labuan but this is a different version of tok tok me that I knew since my childhood days. The texture of this instant noodle type of tok tok mee is almost the same as wantan mee (noodles) but they cooked it in clear starchy gravy instead of the usual dark soya sauce type like wantan mee. Anyway, maybe during the olden days, this similar vendor uses the Chinese wooden clapper to market his dish.


This is how theTok Tok Mee aka Wantan mee looked liked the one I used to eat back in my hometown when I was young! Missed the good old taste of it!


This  is how a pair Chinese wooden clapper that is made of bamboo looks like......

This is another version of Chinese wooden clapper that uses a long stick to knock the piece of bamboo....

Actually the nunchaku are adapted from a pair of Chinese wooden clapper. Peasants use the nunchaku to rebel against oppressive rulers because it doesn't resemble a weapon but looked like pair of wooden clapper so they will not get into trouble when they are caught carrying one! LOL!

The one I have below is made from steel!

Microwave Oven Ee Mee


The bowl of ee mee (pre fried egg noodles) in the photo above is not cooked; before I put it in the microwave oven. My daughter complained that she was hungry, so I decided to use the leftover soup for steamboat to cook ee mee for her. The steamboat soup is very flavourful and this bowl of ee mee must have been very tasty because by the time I realised that I forgot to snap a photo of the cooked ee mee, my daugther already finished half of it.
To cook this ee mee, I put a block of ee mee into a bowl of steamboat soup. Then I add in an egg, a few drop of sesame oil and a little pepper. After that, I put the whole bowl in to the microwave oven and zapped it at high heat for around 5 minutes. The ee mee is ready to eat!

Tea Time- Chop chop, Time for Bihun (or Mee) Bandung

I know it is tea time, so I set this post to auto publish at this hour. Hi Yvonne, another tea time post leh......he he he.

Actually I normally cook Mee Bandung, or in this case Bihun Bandung for supper which happens to be my wife's favourite food.
As usual, I would have pre fried crispy shallots at home, so I can use it for my Mee Bandung. The addition of prawns in the soup would make it tastier but you can use any other type of sea food like squid or even fish fillet. As for me, I will use whatever suitable ingredients that I have in my fridge. Sometimes, I add in fish ball, fish cake, mushroom, celery, fu chuk (fried beancurd skins) and tofu as well.

You can click here for my Mee Bandung Recipe.

Happy Tea Time! LOL!

Ching Ching (Plain) Kueh Teow (Flat noodle) and Lou Shi Fun (Round Short Noodle) Soup - Weekend Recipe

My family would have home cooked Kueh Teow Theng (Flat noodle soup) almost every weekend. This plain noodles soup is also my wife's favourite. We get our thin and nice Ipoh Kueh Teow from the Kepong Baru Wet Market. This stall also sells chubby and crunchy Ipoh Taugeh (beansprouts).
This time around, I fried some 'bak cho' (minced meat) with light soya sauce to go with the Kueh Teow Theng. Bak Cho add extra kick to this common hawker food. Sadly, there are no many Kueh Teow Theng stalls that have Bak Cho to offer. Then I garnish the Kueh Teow Theng with lettuce, fried garlic, spring onions, taugeh and parsley.

Click this link for my Kueh Teow Theng Recipe.

My wife's favourite.......

Kueh Teow Theng with lots of fried Chilli Boh (fresh grounded chillies)


My favourite, Lou Si Fun (short round noodles) Cheng Tong (soup) with lots of Bak Cho (fried minced pork).....

With lots of fried chilli boh also......he he he!


HAPPY COOKING AND HAVE A NICE WEEKEND!

Fried Misua (Wheat Vermicelli) Mamak Style Recipe - Spicy



I have always fried misua with dark soya sauce and sesame oil. The kids are getting a little bored with this style of fried misua. I was wondering how it would taste like if I fry them like mamak style. For best result, use thick type of misua just like the ones you normally find in Teluk Intan area. Thin type of Mee Suah would breaks easily and only suitable of soup. Since misua is a little 'sticky', it is advisible to use non-stick pan to fry it.
This is truly a Chinese meets Mamak dish! LOL!

Ingredients
Misua, 2 bunches, blanced in boiling water for short while until soft
Light soya sauce, 1 teaspoon
Eggs, 1 pc
Tomato sauce, 2 tablespoons
Chilly sauce, 2 tablespoons
Oyster sauce, 1 teaspoon
Shallots, 3 pcs, cut into thin slices
Prawns, 5 pcs, shelled (or fishcake)
Vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon
Chilly powder (optiional)

Note  :   Misua is already very salty. Therfore, I did not add salt in this recipe.

Heat up wok and pour in the vegetable oil. Saute shallots until fragrant and golden brown in colour. Add prawns and eggs. Stir fry for a short while. Add in the softened misua, tomato sauce, chilly sauce, light soya sauce, chilly powder and oyster sauce.  Stir fry gently until the misua is cooked. Garnish with lettuce and serve.

Penang Assam Laksa Recipe - Sour food for man can help wife to conceive baby Boy, believe it or not?



Yes, yes, another sour and spicy dish post! Nope, my wifey is not pregnant......errrr, maybe?...he he he!
I cooked this Penang Assam Laksa last weekend because my friend who stays in Bandar Botanic in Klang gave me a big bunch of mint (po ho, pudina). She planted the mint in her home garden. I garnished my laksa with lots of mint! mmmmm, nice leh! yum yum!

I didn't buy any Kembong Fish (Indian Mackerel) but used canned tuna instead. Actually, I find peeling the kembong fish for Assam Laksa takes up too much time, so I tried to substitute it with canned fish. Although the soup didn't turned out as good as the one using fresh Indian Mackerel fish, I still find all the other assam Laksa flavours in it. I shared the assam laksa with my next door and opposite neighbours.
For the Assam Laksa recipe you can click this link to my previous post, Penang Assam Laksa Recipe.

PS : My ex boss used to tell me that, guys who loves to eat sourish food would produce baby boy when their wife conceive. He don't like sourish food, so he had 3 daughters. Mmmm, I wonder whether that is true or not? I have 2 sons! Believe it or not? LOL!

Fried Misua (wheat flour vermicelli) Recipe

Normally there are no preservatives in misua because the manufacturer would use salt to preserve it. Therefore it is advisable not to add salt when cooking misua (wheat flour vermicelli). In order to cook up a good plate of fried misua, you must use the thick type like the ones you normally see in Teluk Intan. Thin type of misua that are normally sold in convenient shop would turn soggy very fast and break into small pieces. I learned how to cook this fried misua on one of my trips to Setiawan.

Ingredients
Misua (thick type), 2 pcs, blanched in hot water to soften
Dark soya sauce, 1 teaspoon
Light soya sauce, 1 teaspoon
Garlic, 5 pcs, chopped finely
Sesame oil, ½ teaspoon
Pepper, a dash
Prawns, 5 pcs, shelled
Egg, 1 pc
Spring onions, 1 stalk

Put a little vegetable oil into a non stick wok. Add garlic and sauté until it turn golden brown. Put in the prawns. Add eggs, light soya sauce and pepper. Scrambled the eggs and add in the misua. Add dark soya sauce, sesame oil and fry for a short while until the misua is cooked. Garnish with spring onions before serving.

Sauté garlic in vegetable oil until it turned golden brown and put aside. Use the left over oil to fry the pork (or chicken) and prawns for a short while. Add in water and bring to a boil.

Fish Head Bihun at Hing Fatt Restaurant, Taman Muhibbah, Seri Kembangan

My friend who works in Bangi brought me eat lunch at this restaurant which is famous for its fish head bihun(rice vermicelli). We left his office early to avoid the lunch crowd. Although the stalls are lined up like normal hawker type of restaurant, the fish head bihun stall waitress would come over to the table to take orders. Once she takes your order, one of the helper would immediately bring over a tray that consist of two types of chillies for you to choose; sambal or chilly padi (bird eye chilly). We ordered two bowls of fish head bihun with normal thin bihun. The service is quite fast and two bowls of hot fish head bihun were delivered to our table in a jiffy. The soup which has evaporated milk in it is not too creamy; in fact just nice to suit my taste. I was slurping the savoury soup all the way once they served it! LOL! The bowl of fish head bihun was garnished with spring onions and crispy fried shallots. For a little tartness, tomatoes are added into the soup. I am not into eating fish head so I had a hard time removing all the bones in the crispy fried fish head. It tastes nice but I am little afraid of all the little bones inside. Anyway, I managed to finish eating all the yummy and crispy fried fish head. Overall the fish head bihun taste quite good. A bowl cost RM6.50.
