Dumb Blond Mee Hoon

Why does it called "Dumb Blond Mee Hoon"? Coz its a simple mee hoon but the fantastic part is..its been garnished with fried cashew nuts! this is the part make my mee hoon a little bit different from other fried mee hoon After a while I developed my own style of the "rempah" which suits everybody since my kids still cant take spicy stuff.

Ingredients:

5 fresh red chillies

5 cloves garlic

7 shallots

2 table spoon of dried prawn or "udang geragau"

2 table spoon tomato sauce

2 table spoon oyster sauce

2pieces of hard bean curd ( cut into small cubes and fry it till crispy)

3 table spoon chives

2 cups of bean sprout

2 inch carrot (jullien)

300 gram fresh prawn

1 egg (optional)

salt

oil

half pack of mee hoon ( soak it till soft)

Garnishing

3 table spoon of cashew nuts (fry till golden brown)

2 spoon chopped tomato

2 spoon chopped spring onion

Method:

Blend the chillies, garlic, shallots & dried prawn. Then fry it in hot oil till it crispy then add in the tomato sauce. One tip I like to share here is when you "menumis" please put a little bit of salt to enhance the taste of the dish. After it well blend in the wok, put in the prawns, then followed with chives and carrot. Fry it till bit tender then put in the soaked mee hoon. If its too dry, add a little bit hot water. Never used the normal tap water as this will make your dish taste bland especiallywhen you making soup. After all the spices and mee hoon blend together, then you may put it the egg then followed with the bean curd & bean sprout. I like my bean sprout quater cook only but its up to individual. Once cooked, put in serving tray & sprinkle it with all the garnishing. Dont forget to make sure its "cukup rasa" .
