My version of Mee Hun Kueh


This is what I cook when I have no idea of what to eat. Very simple, and probably not everyone would like it. But I love it.

Step 1.















Get like maybe 15 shiitake mushrooms and soak them in warm water until it is soft.

Cut of the stub, and use a scissors to cut the mushroom into slices.

Step 2















I know it looks gross.
This is 500gms of Mince Pork . I have chucked in some sauce to marinate it.

2 tbsp of oyster sauce
3 tbsp of caramel sauce/ thick soy sauce
2 tbsp of soy sauce
1 tsp of salt
pepper all you want.

Just mix it up till every single clump of pork has sauce on it. Let it marinate for an hour.
Step 3.



















Make the dough. Just Plain Flour and Water. MAke it into a dough. As big or as tiny as you want.
Sorry I dont measure stuff. Cover it with a wet tea towel or wet kitchen towel and cover it so that it doesnt harden and become a rock.

Let it sit for like 45 mins or so.
Step 4.














The cooking starts.
Add some oil to a pan, heat it up and chuck your garlic in it. This is prolly 2 cloves of chopped up bits of garlic.
Step 5



















Throw in the meat and the mushrooms together. Cook until it becomes something like that. Taste it and add salt to ur tongue's delight.
Step 6
















While you are waiting for your mince to cook, start by throwing some washed dried anchovies in a pot. This is to make the soup. Add some salt and oil let it fry until it turns golden brown and becomes almost crispy. When it is done. Add water. Maybe 5 cups of water and let it boil.
Step 7















This is how my little flour pieces look like. Just use your fingers and start pulling out bits and flattening them . Looks like clouds. Make any shape of size but not too thick as it would take too long to cook before other pieces start becoming gross.
When it floats, its cooked! You dont need to drink the soup. Just eat it dry! Konlo style.

Step 8















Get some vegetables. I think this is kailan. You can use choy sum, bok choy, any sort you like. There is some special vege but I cant remember what its called or where you can it from. Just cook it in hot water. Lazy man way.
End Result!!!!!
