Penang Style Hokkien Hae Mee (Prawn Noodle Soup)
I am not a noodle addict, but I do enjoy eating it sometimes. Not just a die hard enthusiast. But I fell in love with Laksa and Hokkien Mee. Too bad. I can't make my own Laksa soup here because there are no Laksa leaves available here in the Philippines. Thanks to Makansutra and Paotsin... They serve Laksa ala Kota Kinabalu style. Cooking and eating Hokkien Mee kinda reminds me of the days when I was in Penang. Every sip of this prawn noodle soup, brings me back to the times when we would wake each late, hot, noon, prepping up then heading to Uncle's Little Angel Cafe, and would order my favorite Crispy Chicken in Thai sauce with this delectable Hokkien Mee for starter. Like I said, I'm not a noodle addict, but this one made me gave me a second thought about noodles. Hokkien Mee is composed of some fried noodles done in Fuijan way that is commonly served in Malaysia and Singapore. There are two kinds of Hokkien Me: Hokkien Char Mee or the Char Hae Mee - which is the stir fried style, commonly served in Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, with some yellow, fat noodles, topped with pork, chicken, cabbage, squid, and usually soy sauce is used as a seasoning and as a condiment Hokkien Hae Mee - refers to the Prawn noodle in Penang. Served with egg and rice noodles, no soy is used. And Prawn is the main ingredient in this dish with a few slices of pork, squid or fishcakes. Usually garnished with fried shallots (I just love the smell of these little babies). Instead of a dark soy, sambal and red chilli is added, and just a little bit of light soy sauce is added. The recipe I'll be sharing is the Penang style Hokkien Mee. So get ready with your ticklers, and jot the important steps:
