Hokkien Mee 福建面

I cooked this for my mum last weekend..!

And she commented something like,

some people like it drier and some with more gravy.

I guess I love dry ones with a bit of gravy  =)

I always go easy with all seasonings, 

so if you wanna try this recipe,

taste it first, if it's not salty enough, just add more soy sauce.

My choice of flat hokkien noodle is Sakura!

After comparing other brands with this, 

it's really much lower in sodium.

I had doubts before cooking it, 

but after trying, there's not much of a difference!

Try cooking it! It's a very simple recipe!

我们的家常菜 Hokkien Mee

This is one of our 家常菜 (Home cooked food)

The Hokkien Mee..

My mummy is a Hokkien, and she passed this recipe down to me  =)

I used to prepare ingredients for her and stand beside while she's cooking.

After many years of observation, I started to cook this when I was like 20.

Wanna thank my mummy for passing this precious skill to me.

Normally we will include prawns, fishcakes, pork and fish,

but to make it a little bit healthier, I omitted pork and added lots of vegetables.

It still tasted the same..and after one serving, it's not enough...same for my man.. =)

The dark noodles glistening with oil...

It's heavenly, but for me, it can only be eaten once in a while,

There's lots of oil and colouring in there  =p

although my mum cooks it like once every 2 weeks.

I used this Best Dark Soya Sauce.

It's really thick and better!

Especially when it comes to cooking Hokkien Mee..

So what's your family's 家常菜 (home cooked food)?

Come share with me!   =D
