Recently,I craved for chicken mushroom mee and so I decided to make it at home.
This time,I used cooking oil instead of lard to make the shallots oil.
Ingredients for cooking chicken mushrooms:
1 small piece boneless chicken breast,minced
1 can of button mushrooms,cut thinly
6-7 pieces dried mushrooms,soaked and cut thinly.
1/2 tsp shaoxing gourmet wine
1 tbsp dark soy sauce
1/2 tsp light soy sauce
1/2 tsp oyster sauce
pinch of salt to taste
1 tsp corn flour + 2 tbsp water,mixed
cooking oil
3 red onions,diced small(take abt 1 tsp for
cooking,the rest set aside for later use of
making the shallots oil for the kolo mee)
1-2 pips garlic,diced small and put together
with the 1 tsp of red onions for frying
chicken mushrooms.
Bundles of Springy Noodles
Method:
First,fry the red onions,garlic mixture until slightly brown.
Add in the chicken meat.
Add in dried mushrooms and button mushrooms.
Then add in 1 tbsp dark soy sauce,1/2 tsp salt,1/2 tsp light soy sauce,1/2 tsp gourmet wine and
1/2 tsp oyster sauce to stir.
Add in the water.
Add in the corn water.
Give it a quick stir and dish it out.
Making Shallots Oil:
Heat up some oil.Fry the red onions till brown.Let it cool for later use.
Boil hot water in a big pot and standby a basin of cold water.
In the meanwhile,while waiting for the water to boil,prepare the bowl of ingredients needed
for making the mee.(You can adjust this according to your taste buds)
Take 2-3 tsps shallots oil,depending on how oily you want your mee to be.Add 1/2 tsp salt,
1/2 tsp monosodium glutamate,1/2 tsp white vinegar,1/2 tsp fish sauce,and some dashes of white pepper.
In the pot of hot boiing water,throw in a handful of mee/springy noodle for about 2-3 mins,then take it out and immerse in the basin of cold water for 3-4 seconds.
After that bring back to the boiling water.
Another 30 secs and you are ready to make a bowl of Kolo plain noodle/mee.
Lastly,garnish the top of your noodle/mee with the cooked chicken mushrooms and spring onions.
