Buddha Jumps Over Instant Noodles 佛跳墙快熟面
February 27, 2013 admin

What to do with a can of 佛跳墙 I got during Chinese New Year? I wish I had some mee sua then, but I only had instant noodles, so I decided to make a dish called Buddha Jumps Over Instant Noodles.

Very simple, just heat up the contents from the can and put in the instant noodles. I also added some wanton. It takes quite a while to soften the noodles as the broth is quite thick. Boil up and have a thick, slurpy instant noodle dish. Not sure if it goes well with vinegar, but do use mee sua if you happen to have some lying around at home.

Wild mushrooms growing between the flower beds at NUS. Can anyone tell me whether they are edible?

Abalone Treat

Abalone is another pricey must-have during Chinese New Year. Let me share with you how I prepared it this festive season. Here we have some canned abalone thinly sliced.

137 (640x480)

Into a pan or wok, add a couple of tablespoons of cooking oil, then some minced garlic. Fry with the sliced abalone.

138 (640x480)

Some straw mushrooms and prawns as accompaniment. I’ve also added some oyster sauce and huadiao wine. Turn up the heat before adding cornstarch dissolved in abalone stock (from the can)

140 (640x480)

And here it is. Very fragrant and tasty. A real treat for this festive season.
