mee hailam- resepi mak...

ini resepi yang saya ambil dari mak saya...
boleh menggunakan samada mee kuning atau pasta seperti spaghetti.

jika menggunakan mee kuning, celur dengan air panas untuk menghilangkan 
rasa kapur dari mee. Jika anda menggunakan pasta, rebus pasta seperti arahan
 pada pek bungkusan pasta dan akan dimasak sekali dengan kuah apabila kuah sudah sedia. 

ini resepi untuk kuah mee hailam..

Di dalam kuali, tumis bawang putih. Kemudian masukkan 3 sudu besar sos tiram. Masukkan perencah mengikut kegemaran masing-masing, contohnya udang dan sotong.

Masukkan  1 camt lada hitam yang telah ditumbuk halus

Masukkan air rebusan udang 1 cawan (saya menggunakan air rebusan ayam kerana saya menggunakan ayam sebagai perencah saya).   Masukkan kicap pekat dan kicap cair

Kemudian masukkan Sayur-sayuran - lobak merah, sawi dan cili merah, dan buah tomato yang di potong kecil.

Tambah garam secukup rasa.

Bancuhkan 3 sudu besar tepung jagung dalam air dan tuang ke dalam kuali untuk mendapat kuah yang pekat.

Tuangkan kuah yang telah siap dan masih panas ke atas pinggan yang berisi mee, atau masukkan spaghetti ke dalam

Mushroom and chicken cream pasta

The base for this pasta is:
1- saute garlic
2- add sliced mushroom
3- add chicken cream soup
4-pour in the pasta of your choice

I tweak it a bit by:
1- saute garlic
2- browning a slab of chicken in the oil and garlic
3- take out the chicken and cut into small piece. discard the very brown garlic
4- saute new garlic into the same saucepan, scrape the pan while you're at it
5- add back in the chicken, cook a bit
6- add slice mushroom, preferable shitake
7- add broccoli
8- add in the chicken soup, stir in well
9- add in milk or cheese if you want it creamier.
10- add salt and pepper to taste.
11- pour onto pasta of your choice.
