Refreshing Glass Noodles With Calamansi Juice

 

Who else loves glass noodles? This refreshing glass noodle with prawns, ground meat and fresh herbs, all mixed together with a zesty dressing.

These flavorful glass noodles are quick to prepare, simple to prepare, and full of texture and taste. It combines neutral-tasting fresh coriander leaves with a spicy, acidic, and sweet sauce that soaks into everything to give everything a flavour punch. Prawns and ground pork are blended with my noodles. My ground pork has more fat than regular ground pork, you can choose the lean meat. You may use squid, muscle, and scallops. You can adapt anyway you like with your favorite protein. Just leave the meat out of the recipe if you prefer to follow a vegan diet. It still has the same rich, wonderful, and fresh flavour.



Some of the people confuse the glass noodles with rice vermicelli because they look similar in the package. Rice vermicelli is made from rice flour while glass noodles are made of mung bean starch. In other words, they are fat-free, and it is great for people who want to lose weight. The noodles easily absorb liquid, so you only require a small quantity to completely fill a bowl.

For this recipe, all you need is a saucepan or  wok with water to boil the ground pork, prawns, and glass noodles separately. Then, just tossed everything into a bowl; how simple was that?

INGREDIENTS 

40g dry glass noodles 

1 tbsp dried shrimp

100g groud pork

12 medium shrimp

3 cloves garlic

2 stems or more fresh cilantro with stem and leaves separated

2-3 bird eye chilies to taste

1 tbsp rock sugar

2 ½ tbsp of light soy sauce

2 tbsp fresh calamansi juice

5-6 cherry tomatoes, cut into half

½ of medium size red onion, julienned




METHOD

 

1. Soak the dried shrimp and glass noodles in room temperature water until they are soft. Drain and cut the noodles to shorten lengths. Use a mortar and pestle to break down the softened dry shrimp into smaller pieces.

2. Add the chopped onion, dried shrimps, and cherry tomatoes to a sizable mixing bowl.

3. Cut the cilantro stems into small pieces and combine with the garlic and chiles in a mortar and pestle. Pound the ingredients into a mixture. Add in the lock sugar and pound until it dissolves. Add in the light soy sauce and calamansi  juice, stir until everything is well combined.

4. In a saucepan or a wok with water to boil, cook the glass noodles for about 2 minutes, remove it and drain the excess liquid.

5. Add the prawns into the remaining water and cook them until done, place into the mixing bowl.

6. Continue cook the ground pork with the remaining liquid until it is fully cooked and remove it from the liquid and place it into the mixing bowl.

7. Add noodles into the mixing bowl and the dressing on step (3), quickly toss everything to combine. If you think the mixture is too dry, you may add some extra pork cooking liquid.  Serve immediately.

Crispy Fried Noodles Meatballs With Sweet Chili Sauce

I don’t want to blow my own horn, but I’m determined to do everything I can to make you want to try these meatballs. These meatballs are coated with SWEET CHILLI LIME SAUCE. The sweet chili paste is the major component of making the sauce. Apart from using this paste to make the sauce for the meatballs. You can also use it for other dishes like stir-fries with French beans, spread over cucumber or bread, or sometimes use it to pair with fried noodles. The paste itself is sweet with some spiciness. I am using two types of dried chilies to make the paste, one type is mild, and the type is extremely hot dried chilies. Bear in mind that the smaller they are, the hotter they are. My meatballs contain glass noodles inside and outside of them. If you're not familiar with the idea of adding noodles to meatballs, let me convince you as to why it's a great idea. The noodles get crispy outside after frying.   So, you don’t need to mess up with panko or any other breading. Glass nood...

Salted Egg Yolks Fried Wings

  There are some leftover salted egg yolks after the Dragon Boat Festival. Salted egg yolk fried wings straight pop into my mind. Egg yolk chicken wings are really flavoring explosions, highly praised for its unique flavor, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and tempting with their salty and fragrant taste. Other than the flavor that driving everyone’s insane. The key to this dish is to double fry the chicken wings until they are golden and crispy before coating them with a rich sauce of salted egg yolk and season them to make every bite full of rich taste and irresistible flavor. Since the fried chicken is mixed with salted egg yolks and melted butter, I must admit that this is a really greasy dish.   Eat this sparingly, then. I cut and divide my wings into mid wings and drummets. And I am going to give a shallow cut on them for better penetration during the marinating. Just oyster sauce, soy sauce and white pepper make up the basic marinade for the chicke...

Nyonya Sticky Rice Dumplings

This is my version of Nyonya Zongzi. The taste is very different from salty meat Zongzi. When the first time I taste it, it is incredibly tasty, it’s slightly spicy but not too sweet. It has a strong spice flavor due to the fact that of using whole coriander and white peppercorns which were toasted and grinded into powder form. The biggest difference between the regular Zongzi and Nyonya Zongzi is in the filling -- one’s savory while the other's sweet. The regular salty Zongzi normally includes pork belly in a big piece, mushrooms, dried shrimp, chestnuts and salted duck eggs. And include a lit bit of five spice powder for some fragrance. The Nyonya Zongzi includes braised minced pork, dried shrimps, candied winter melon, and the strong spice from the whole grinded coriander seeds and white peppercorns is the key to the greatest flavor. And it comes with a blend of sweet and savory, with aromatic spice notes and a hint of sweetness. The blue and off-white appearance with a ...
