Kolo Chicken Mushroom Mee/Sarawak Kolo Mee



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.

KOLO MEE

Sarawak is famous for it's kolo mee.Kolo mee is a type of springy noodles and can be either
straight or curly.Nowadays,it's hard to find the straight one unless you make it yourself or knows someone who make and distribute it.Most of the time I can only find the curly one.There's also the flat one called mee pok in hokkien.






I tried to make my own kolo mee instead of going out to the kopi-tiam to eat.It is not hard to make afterall.
The noodle can be easily found in the supermarket as well as the wet market.Prawns,fish balls,minced pork and char-siew(bbq pork) can be added to it.Serve it either plain or with the red bbq sauce.I was once told by a friend that it is the lard that make the mee tasty and nice.Monosodium glutamate further enhance the flavour.
Oh! and I also make kolo kueh tiaw(rice noodle)It was lying next to the mee and I bought it too so that we can have both kolo mee and kueh tiaw at the same time.

Fry extra onions oil in case you want to make more bowls.
I start off by making the char siew a day earlier first and keep it in the refrigerator until used.




To make shallots oil:
2 red onions,chopped small
1 piece of pork belly

1.Put the pork belly(the fatty side) into the wok and fry till oil comes out clean.
2.Using the lard oil,fry the red onions till fragrant.Set aside.

To make a bowl of kolo mee:(everything is to taste because your bundle of noodle may vary)

1.5 tbsp shallots oil
1 tsp fish sauce(or to taste)
1 tsp light soya sauce(0r to taste)
1 tsp vinegar(or to taste)
1/4 tsp salt(or to taste)
1/2 tsp monosodium glutamate(or to taste)
some dash of white pepper to taste

Put all the above ingredients into a bowl.Leave aside and go cook the noodle.

1.Boil a pot full of water.When boiled,throw in a handful or bundle of noodle in for about 3 seconds.Have a basin of cold water standby.After you already dung the noodle in the hot 
water,dip it in the basin of cold water and bring back to the boiling hot water again for about 2 seconds or so.Taking so long will only made the noodle sticky.
3.Put the noodle into the bowl.Garnish with desired things.

For garnishing needs:
Char Siew
Minced pork
fish ball
prawns
spring onions(chopped finely)
fish cake(sliced thin)
















Mince pork recipe:

100g minced pork
3 tbsps. soya sauce
1 tbsp. light soya sauce
1 tbsp. shaoxing wine
some white pepper powder

Mixed together and marinate for 1 hour.
After marinating,heat up abt 2 tbsps. of oil in the wok.Add in some onions and garlics for fragrance.
Add in the mince pork and stir-fry till it is cooked.(remember to add in a few tbsps. of water so that it is not dry up)


For the Char Siu recipe:


400 g pork tenderloins-cut into 4 long strips

Seasoning:

4 tbsps brown sugar

3 tsps sesame oil
2 tbsps. rice wine
2 tbsps light soya sauce
1 tbsps dark soy sauce
1 tsp five spice powder
a drip of red coloring

honey 

Season the meat and leave it in the fridge overnight.Barbeque over charcoal fire.Spoon some honey over it,turning here and there.When it is done,cut into thin slices.


Update: Today I made a much much tastier Char Siu sauce:



3 Tbsp brown sugar

1 Tbsp shuaxing wine or sherry

1 Tbsp hoisin sauce

1 Tbsp sesame oil

1/2 Tbsp light soy sauce

1 Tbsp dark soy sauce

1/2 Tbsp honey

Mix everything well together in a pan.Heat it up and keep on stirring.

Add in 100ml of water to let the sugar dissolves well and not get burned.

Keep stirring again until the sauce has start to thicken.As soon as the sauce has thicken,turn off the fire immediately.

Spoon some sauce over your bowl of kolo mee for a delicious  red sweet kolo mee.I prefer my kolo mee plain.

OR spoon some sauce over your bbq Char Siu.

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.

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.

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.
