Marry you…

Marriage is a union of two and two becomes one. No, no, nobody’s getting married and anyway, with this on-going MCO partial lockdown, I hear that many have postponed their weddings for the time being. The union or the marriage, so to speak, that I shall be touching on in this post is that of The Kitchen Sibu Food – instant kampua noodles and Uncle Q Dumplings.

The instant kampua people have come out with some new products including the red yeast rice kampua that I blogged about the other day and my cousin in Bintulu shared this photograph…

…of one of those newer ones, the spicy vinegar noodles. I think I saw my missus eating that once but she did not say anything and by the time I thought I would give it a try, she had finished the whole pack. Incidentally, somebody said that the meepok this flavour is nice so when I happen to go out again, I shall grab a pack to try.

Then there was this pumpkin noodles…

…from those same people. My missus bought a pack and she said it was just like kampua noodles – like the red yeast rice ones, she could not detect any difference in the texture or the taste. I must say that I shared those same sentiments when I tasted a bit of the one she cooked in some soup and served with the meat and chives dumplings that David, Annie’s brother gave me the first time he sent some over for me to try but yes, it was very nice – the marriage actually worked very well!

I enjoyed it so much that the other morning, I decided to cook my own. No, I cannot use the dark soy sauce version – the ladies in the house prefer that so I’ve stocked up on a few packs of those. Incidentally, my friend in Penang managed to get hold of that and was sharing the photographs…

…on Facebook – I sure wouldn’t want the soup to be black in colour.

That was why I used the original light soy sauce one…

…instead.

I put the contents of the sachets in a bowl, cooked the kampua noodles and added that to the bowl and I poured the bone stock soup over it. I tossed the noodles to mix everything thoroughly before adding the dumplings that I had boiled…

…and garnishing it with some chopped spring onions from my garden.

Just like the pumpkin noodles and dumplings combo, this one…

…tasted great too! You may want to consider eating the noodles this way for a change when you’ve grown tired of having it dry.
