Braised Ee Fu Noodles

*taken with iPhone 3, thus the lousy photo quality


Ingredients...

- Braising sauce
2 tbsp oyster sauce
1/4 tsp dark sauce for colour
1/4 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp Hua Tiao Wine (optional but it makes a difference)
Dash of white pepper
1 cup water

- Mushroom of any variety
- 2 cloves garlic, sliced thinly
- 2 to 3 handful beansprouts, heads and tails removed
- 2 dried mounds Ee Fu Noodles (enough for 2 servings)
- 2 to 3 tbsp vegetable oil + 1/4 tsp white sesame oil
- and any other ingredients u like to add in!


How to...

1. Heat vegetable oil and sesame oil. When it is very hot, add in garlic and fry briefly before throwing in the bean sprouts, chives and mushrooms and other ingredients u chose. Stir fry for about 1 minute.

2. Add braising sauce and allow to simmer (about 1 minute). Maintain medium high heat throughout.

3. Add in Ee Fu noodles, making sure you submerge them in the braising sauce as much as possible. Cover with a lid and let the noodles stew in the sauce for 2 to 3 minutes.

Open lid and check for doneness. There should be little or no braising sauce when the dish is done. Do not overcook or the noodles will become soggy. Allow the residual heat to continue cooking the noodles till al dente.

Dish up on serving plate and garnish with cut chives or coriander.
