Oyster Mee Sua
Cheat meal lunch ~ delicious piping hot one dish meal is ready to serve on the table in less than 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 90 g mee sua (wheat vermicelli) - 3 small bundles
- 700 ml chicken broth - Swanon brand
- 300 ml water
- 1/2 tbsp Hua Tiao Chiew - Chinese cooking wine
- 3/4 tbsp sweet potato starch+1.5 tbsp water - mix well the solution
- 300 g frozen oyster meat
- 1 tbsp sweet potato starch - for coating
- fried shallot
- coriander leaves
- black vinegar - to taste
- dash of pepper
Instructions
- Thaw the whole bag of frozen oyster meat in a bowl of water for about 5 minutes to soften. Then remove oyster meat from the bag and rinse a few times and drain well. Then coat oyster meat with potato starch.
- Blanch the coated oyster meat in boiling water for a few seconds, strain and soak in cold water for oyster meat to cool down, about 1 minutes. Then drain well and set aside.
- In a pot bring the chicken broth and water to boil. Add cooking wine, stir well (may add salt to taste at this stage - I didn't add).
- Drop in the mee sua and cook for a few minutes until softened. Snip the mee sua roughly with a pair of scissors to shorten the strand and slowly drizzle in the potato starch solution to thicken the soup to your desired consistency.
- Serve mee sua immediately with cooked oyster meat on top, few drops of black vinegar and garnish with fried shallot and coriander leaves with a dash of pepper.
Notes
May use corn starch if you don't have sweet potato starch at home
