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

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.

Ondeh-Ondeh in 3 flavour (椰丝球)

Today made a popular dessert in Malaysia, “Ondeh Ondeh”, a type of Nyonya recipe. It is also called “Buah Melaka” because it looks like the fruit of the Malacca tree. The procedure of making is easy. The flavoured glutinous rice balls have grated fresh coconut on the outside and melting Gula Melaka, or palm sugar, inside. The white, milky coconut shreds and little balls of various colours appear fresh and natural. and has a charming appearance. The glutinous rice balls, soft glutinous and chewy are determined by the amount of water and cooking time. The softer the rice balls, the more water and more time it boiled. We like our coconut shreds to be moist and crisp, the melted Gula Melaka to be rich and flavorful, and the texture to be somewhat mushy and sticky. It seems like the nostalgic flavour of my childhood is returning. In addition to the traditional pandan flavour, I have included instructions for making it with sweet potatoes and pumpkin. Of all the flavours of "ondeh...

Dong Po Rou (东坡肉)

Dong Po Rou (东坡肉) – wine braised pork belly. It’s rich and savoury, tender that melts into your mouth. Traditionally, the pork belly is pan-fried before being braised or stewed for one to one and a half hours on low heat. Some of the recipes even call for steaming for an additional half an hour after stewing. It is very time-consuming. But as you are aware, I enjoy making recipes simpler without compromising the taste. You, too, I'm sure. Therefore, I skipped the pan-frying step and proceeded directly to braising the pork after blanching it, and then continued to cook with a pressure cooker. Don't worry; the dish's flavour remains unaffected. I'm hoping this simplified method may come in handy for your regular cooking. Trim off the edges of the pork and cut it into 3x3 cubes. Tie cooking twine around each cube. This will assist the cubes in keeping their form while cooking. If the pork that you bought is at the mid portion of the belly is ideal, there is a nice bala...
