Silver Noodle with Choy Sum

Somedays I just ran out of ideas what to cook for my family. I wanted something fast and easy and ended up with this. My family likes it and do so I. At times I'm just pressed for time and since I had been out all day and cooking was the last thing I had in my mind. When I felt I am in a crunch I just dreamt up one within seconds. So for those interested here it is.

2 packets Fresh Silver Noodles, pour hot boiling water and drain immediately

Some fresh ground pork meat (minced pork) or you may use char siew slice into thin strips

1 - 2 Tbs Tang chai (preserved turnip shreds)

1 garlic smashed and chopped to pieces

1 shallot sliced

Less then a pinch of salt

Some dark soya sauce & oyster sauce adjust according to your taste

Vegetable - whatever veggies you prefer shredded cabbage or Choy Sum or Kai Lan if you wish

Heat pan, sautee shallot, garlic, and tang chai until fragrant and add ground pork. Stir it until the meat is partially cook and add in your seasonings, vegetables, and noodle last. Do not over cook your vegetables. Bon Appettito!

Fried Bee Hoon - Rice Vermicilli

Last Friday I invited two of my younger sisters to come over for chicken tonic (chicken with a bowl of minced ginger, some dried chinese dates cooked with Martini Rossi and Glutinuous Rice wine. My son Marcus and two nieces didn't care for it so they had this simple rice vermicilli instead.

Koh Lo Mein

Earlier in the day I made some char siew from home instead of store bought. I have ground pork, char siew slices, choy sum, and some wonton individually pack in wax brown paper. Note: I like extra gravy on the ground pork.

Improvised - Pickeled Green Chillies from Kuali
