Soy noodle 豆签

Soy noodle (豆签), despite its name, is not noodle made of entirely soy.  Soy only made a small portion of the ingredients.  A brief survey of a locally-made soy noodle is made of mainly wheat flour (78%), some amount of tapioca flour and soy (10% each),  and of course water (10%) and salt (2%).

I only wander if the soy is of powder form or of liquid extract ( out of curiosity ).  Whether the soy is GMO or conventional remain undisclosed.  

It is often marketed as a health food, healthier than all other type of noodles (which are made of wheat flour).   Yet, considering the main ingredient is wheat flour, and the blurry source of soy,  it is not very appropriate to label  it as healthier, safer or lesser calories than other noodles.  

洋葱炒蛋

没做这道菜好久了！也好久没尝了。

以前，家里没菜送饭时，妈总是会出此绝招。

久未尝，看来是家境渐好，餐餐有鱼有肉，不缺菜送饭。加上洋葱也不便宜，外食普及，重洋葱味，此肴也渐少人问津。

First, slice an onion.  Put into a bowl with 2 eggs.  Add in some salt and pepper to taste.  Stir to mix. 

Stir fry on pan.  Serve hot with ketchup/chili souce.

...everyone can fry !! 

泡菜汤 Kimchi Soup - Experimental Cooking

I sampled this kimchi soup in Midvalley AEON.   It was nice.  So I think it should be easy to prepare.  Just add in all the ingredients and voila !!!

First, I cut into small pieces some Chinese cabbage, carrot, tofu and a bit of meat.  In a pot, fill in a bowl of water, bring to boil.  Then put in some kimchi and all other ingredients.  Boil for a while till softened.  Garnish with chopped celery leaves.

Serve hot with rice..

…. the taste…… so so niah..

Steamed Bitter Gourd Stuffed with Burger Meat 蒸苦瓜釀汉堡肉

The preparation of this dish is exactly the same as steamed bitter gourd stuffed with minced meat, just replace the minced pork meat with burger meat. 

Burger meat is easily available, cheap, and come with various brand and thus flavor.  The downside is that in Malaysia, burger meats are either of beef or chicken, never pork.  Although burger meats need no flavoring, the content of the burger meats may contain lots of artificial flavoring and additives thus may not be the ideal ingredient for those who are more conscious of what they put in their mouth.

Mincing own meat is not an easy task, especially for the amateurs.  Thus, burger meat is still the easiest option.  Still, easiest isn’t necessary the best option.

Cari Makan @ Banting : 叫化鸡

久闻万津 ( Banting ) 的叫化鸡。百闻不如一食，百里之行始于网搜。

不搜则已，一搜惊人，原来叫化鸡来头不简单。虽然仅仅郊外的一间简陋木屋，就算驾大车摆大架子大钞票，若非有预定，肯定没得吃。电话预订需确定人数座位、时间、点菜，还需报上大名以免点错相。

网上关于餐馆的地址也不详。若非有惊人的导航能力，外人是不容易找到的。在下留了google map 网站链接以供参考。

没吃过，总会心思思。试了，不过如此。至少曾经吃过。
