Other ways…

I got some yee mee from Annie when she was home a few weeks ago during the school holidays and as far as I know, they usually serve it in claypots or hot sizzling plates. I do not have any of those plates and a couple of claypots but they are big ones, not individual sizes. That was why I decided to cook the noodles in some other ways.

I tried cooking it the something-like –mee mamak style, the way I cooked some yellow noodles that I had not too long ago and these were the ingredients that I used…

– the usual peeled and sliced shallots and garlic, some Thai basil leaves, spring onions, one chili – all thinly sliced, some green vegetables (sawi manis) and two eggs.

I also had some prawns…

…so I deveined them…and boil the heads and shell in a bit of water and kept the stock.

I boiled the noodles and drained well before adding some soy sauce, Thai chili sauce and sugar…

…and I was ready to roll!

I fried the shallots and garlic in a bit of oil till golden brown, added the prawns, chili, Thai basil leaves and spring onions and the stems of the vegetables. Once cooked, I added the noodles and mixed everything together well, adding a bit of the prawn stock a little at a time to sizzle in the wok and the rest of the vegetables and lastly, I added the eggs. Once it was done, I dished it out and served…

Well, I would say it wasn’t too bad, nice with the fragrance and taste of the yee mee, but I do think it is nicer with yellow noodles…or let’s say that, between the two, that would be my preferred choice.

I had some of the yee mee left…and the prawn stock as well so one morning, I took the stock, added a bit of water and two cloves of garlic plus some fish balls and brought it to boil, adding a little bit of fish sauce so it would be salty and nice. In the meantime, I boiled an egg…and cooked the noodles. Placing the noodles in a bowl, I added the soup and the fish balls plus the egg. I had some leftover pan-grilled salmon, left over from the slab that I bought for my girl to enjoy so I took that, cut into slices, heated them up and added them to my bowl of noodles…

…and served with a sprinkling of chopped cilantro and fried shallots on top…

I always love noodles in clear soup so of course, I enjoyed that…especially with my own pounded chili and garlic plus lime dip.

Ok, all the noodles are gone now. Oopsss!!! I’ve forgotten all about the sausages from Australia that I still have left in the freezer…and it’s already past the end of the month. No prize for guessing what’s for breakfast tomorrow, folks! LOL!!!
