Tomato Noodle

Tomato Noodle

Yes!I cooked this tomato mee.It's not bought from kopi tiam or any other hawker store.It's simple,anyone can cooked this.All you have to do is deep- fried the mee/noodle first. Then,you cooked the sauce and pour over the mee and wait for it to soften or you can eat it while the mee is still hard.(I prefer like this)Tomato mee is found everywhere in Sarawak,Malaysia.It's not just tomato mee,you can also make tomato kueh teow and even tomato bee-hoon. Among the three,I like tomato bee-hoon the most.It's also great for parties.So,invite some friends over and cook this.

My recipe below are for 8 people:

a packet of kolo mee noodle found in supermarket(divide into 8 portions)

2 tbsps cooking oil

1small bottle ketchup

2 tbsp salt

1 tsp aji-no-moto(sodium glutamate

1 onion

1 garlic

8-10 fish balls(halved)

1 long piece of fish cake(found in supermarket and sliced thin)

100g prawns

2 big tomatoes

2 stalk of sawi(green vegetables)cut to pieces

1 litre of water

2tbsps corn flour(stir with 1 tbsps of water)

1.Pour plenty of oil into the wok -about half of the wok.

2.Deep-fried the noodle one by one until eight portions are fried up.Using the ladle,spread the noodle until it becomes wide and one piece round.Turn over when you see it start to get brown.Do not over browned it or it will get burned and bitter.

3.Take the oil up and leaves about 2 tbsp of oil in the wok.

4.Fry the onions and garlics.Pour the water in.

5.Transfer to a cooking pot.Add in the tomatoes sauce,salt and aji-no-moto.

6.Put in the fish balls,fish cake and tomatoes.Cooked for approximately 15 minutes.

8.Lastly,pour in the corn flour mixture and mix well.

To serve:

If you like tomato kueh-teow or bee-hoon more:Fry the kueh teow or bee-hoon with some  black soya sauce and light soya sauce first before adding the sauce.


Update:
A bit of an update to this post.I just want to let you all know,that you can also add chicken instead of only prawns.I forgot to mention earlier.Cut the chicken into small pieces. 50g prawns and 50g chicken.If you are allergic to prawns,just use chicken only.
