A bowl of hearty curry mee for comfort food. This is my version of a Malaysian favourite noodle dish.
Serving: 4-6 people
Difficulty: Easy
Preparation time: 30 minutes
Cooking time: 1 hour
Ingredients:
Blend together:
8 shallots(bawang merah)
3 cloves garlic
2 stalks lemongrass
1cm fresh tumeric
12 dried chillies
100ml cooking oil
salt to taste
2tbsp curry powder
200ml thick coconut milk
300ml second coconut milk
tauhu pok
300g prawns, chicken or even fish
a rice bowl of fish ball and fish cakes
noodles of your choice-blanched
bean sprouts-blanched
spring onion-sliced finely
Method:
1. Heat up the bowl of oil in a large pot and pour in the blended ingredients when the oil is hot. Add the curry powder, salt and let it simmer until the oil resurfaces again.
2. Add the coconut milk-both thick and second milk- and let the gravy cook until it simmers.
3. Add the prawns, chicken or fish or all three if you like and the other ingredients.
4. Once the prawns are cooked, take the gravy off the fire and ladle it over the yellow noodles or the rice noodles or even rice vermicelli, bean sprouts and sprinkle it with spring onions before tucking in.
* Note: For more variety, add boiled quails eggs or even slice boiled egg to complement the rich and satisfying meal.
