MY DISH


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

Preparation: 
Mee sua - 
Slice the chye sim
Slice the fish and marinate using light sauce and sesame oil 
Slice the mushrooms (:P for practical my mum bought pre-sliced mushrooms) 

Wanton - 
Mince the chicken 
slice the spring onion
slice the water chestnuts
slice the carrot and corn. 
In a large bowl, put chicken 
Add ground white pepper(shake thrice) , 1 tea spoon of wu xiang fen, 1 tea spoon of light sauce, + egg white.
Mix with corn, carrot, spring onion, water chestnut

cooking method: 
mee sua - 
Heat up water until it boils slightly
Add fish 
Let fish cook for about two minutes or so
Add vegetable stalks, mushrooms and mee suah noodles
When mee suah has boiled for about two minutes
Add vegetable leaves (ensures the veggies do not get burnt) 

wanton -
Add wanton to boiling water and boil for 5 minutes 
Drain away the water and put the wanton on a plate

GARNISH with red chili (slice it so it'll look PREEETY) 
and lettuce and spring onion
