Mee Hoon Koay

Ok. Since I'm going to live in a self-catered hall in Australia, I've got to learn how to cook my favourite foods.

The first that came to mind was mee hoon koay. ANd before I forget how to cook it. I'll record it here.
So. To cook for for lunch + dinner / for two people :

Part One: Prepare flour
1. Beat up 1 egg
2. Add this beat up egg to 6 spoons of wheat flour.
3. Mix mix mix. Add a bit of water, mix mix mix. Too sticky? Add a bit of flour. Mix mix mix until it's right (Lazy to describe what is right, but it looks like how it looks like when the mi hun ke aunty tears it apart on top of the pot)
4. Now keep it in the fridge temporarily.

Part Two: Prepare the rest
1. Stir fry some garlic (chopped to small pieces preferred) with oil.
2. Add one and a half bowls of water (if cooking for one)
3. Add in the meat(chicken?) / yong tao fu stuff.
Recommended to add in: anchovies (yum - can add in after frying also), some concentrated chicken stock, cooking wine, fish balls, dumplings, fish, whatever lah

Part Three: Adding in the flour (The most time consuming one :( )
1. Now take out the flour from the fridge.
2. Flatten and tear the flour to pieces like the usual mi hoon ke.

Part Four: Finishing steps
1. Add in vegetables (balanced meal! don't be carnivorous!)
2. Taste the soup. Add more chicken stock / soy sauce if it isn't tasty enough.

Done.


Summary of Ingredients
1. Wheat flour
2. Egg
3. Chopped garlic
4. Anchovies
5. Yong tao fu stuff, chicken

Okay. I still haven't tried cooking dinner. That's next.
