Among the Chinese hawker fare (Fried Kway Teow, Shanghai Noodles, Chinese Burdock Kei Chi Soup, Lam Mee & Chinese Fried Rice), I am fond of Cantonese Yee Mee" - brown coiled crispy noodles generously soaked in a gooey broth with chicken, pork or seafood and vegetables. Though yee mee can be requested for a pork-free version. my other half dare not eat. He assumes the gravy is made from pork bones or pork oil is used for frying. Thus, when he hinted I should make a halal-version, admittedly my first attempt, it turned out great. This one is made with prawn stock and as always, home made is the best.
Ingredients
(For 2 people)
1/2 liter prawn/chicken stock
3-4 fish balls - cut into two
6 pieces medium size prawns - remove skin and de-vein
1-2 squids - clean and cut into rings
