One of the series of recipes from my old blog.
Well, wouldn't say hubby is the handsomest guy on earth, just out of respect of millions of hunks out there. But for the fact I've fallen head over heals, and managed to maintain that feeling for 8 years...he is to me the hunk of my life.
And the question goes..why wouldn't such a guy get any wooing from girls after being alone and semi-available for 5-6 years in a foreign land? Not that there wasn't any wooing, and so I found out only after constant probing. I can get pretty annoying when I'm so persistent at times..hehe..
So the story goes... he was woed with a plate of Char Kueh Teow before. Now, who says the best way of winning over a guy isn't by his stomach?
And so began my quest to cook a nice plate of Char Kueh Teow... just to stamp my mark.
Recipe:
Ingredients:
Kueh Teow/ Flat noodles - 1 packet
Garlic finely diced - 5 gloves
Chai por ( preserved turnip) finely diced - 1 strip
Lap Cheong - 1 strip
Taugeh 2 handfuls
Spring onion - 2 stalks, chopped 1 inch
Prawns
2 eggs
Peanut oil/ Lard
Soy Sauce/ Salt/ Pepper to taste
Chili boh (optional, couldn't get it here)
1) Heat wok, add 3-4 table spoon of peanut oil/ lard (He claims that it's the secret to good Kueh Teow...I just go..yucks)
2) Stir in garlic and chai po, fry till brown
3) Add lap cheong and prawn. Add chili boh if available
4) Add Kueh Teow, and fry vigorously! unless you have those big non- stick wok.
5) Soy sauce, salt and pepper to taste ( I like mine not too dark, up to own preferance)
6) Stir in taugeh and spring onion
7) Push everything at the side of the wok, put in half a table spoon of oil and crack in the eggs. Stir until even. Dish out. Serves 2.
My...what accomplishment I felt when I saw the undisguised delight in his eyes when he spooned it down. I'm winner all this while after all....... or maybe he's smart enough to say mine's the best he'd tasted so far. Hehehe
