MEE SIAM

Mee Siam

I haven't made this for quite sometime. Doesn't seem to be favorite among the children. When come to Meehoon the children preferred, the Singapore Meehoon or the Soya Sauce Meehoon. Anyhow this time around I managed to convinced the children of my choice.

Mee Siam or “Siamese noodles” is basically spicy fired rice vermicelli with various toppings such as shrimp, chicken, fried firm tofu, and shredded omelet. Mee Siam is usually served with sambal ikan bilis.

Sudah lama benarlah saya berhajat nak makan Mee Siam ini, jarang membuatnya di rumah kerana kurang mendapat sambutan daripada anak-anak. Anak-anak lebih mengemari Meehoon Singapore dan Meehoon Kicap. Mee Siam ini enak dimakan dengan sambal ikan bilis. Dalam resipi saya ini saya tidak blendkan tochew dengan bahan giling tetapi sebaliknya memasukkan tochew sebiji-biji bersama bahan lain, ini menambahkan rasanya yang masam-masam dan manis.
