This is the dish I will be presenting during my practical, Mee Suah Noodle Soup + wanton. My family LOVES to eat ngoh hiang, especially on occasions like chinese new year or simple dinners at my ah gong's house. I LOVE IT TOO. But when I watch how it's being cooked I get kind of scared. The ngoh hiang is drowned in oil before being FRIED, and the special beancurd skin for ngoh hiang is very salty.
How I modified the dish:
- Special ngoh hiang beancurd skin was replaced with wanton dumpling skin which is less salty, and more suitable to be cooked in soups, which is the reason why it's called WANTON and not ngoh hiang.
- Pork was replaced with chicken meat
- Corn was added (VEGGIES) + chye sim in mee suah
- There's FISH in the mee suah instead of meat like chicken etc and fish is healthier :D
Ingredients:
Mee suah -
mee suah noodle
sliced button mushroom
chye sim vegetables
fish meat (marinated)
light sauce (one spoon or so)
3/4 bowl of water
Garnish with red chili and spring onion
Wanton -
minced chicken meat
water chestnuts
corn
carrot
egg white (I excluded the egg yolk so there isn't too much cholesterol)
dumpling skin
spring onion
wu xiang fen
pepper

cooking method:
