My maternal grandmother used to cook this mee sua soup for us when I was a little girl. Every time i have this simple noodle soup, I am immediately brought back in time. My granny is not around anymore but I'm glad there are a few iconic dishes I can get Roland to make every now and then to help me feel her presence.

Many years ago when instant noodles has yet to be invented, my mom used to fry up anchovies & ginger for the mee sua soup stock. Fast & easy. Occasionally I still make it in nostalgia. Fried liver with ginger to make the soup is good too, just pour some red Chinese rice wine into it.

@dostagirl9551 3 жыл бұрын

My Korean family makes something similar except we only use the anchovies and garlic which results in a very clear broth. Your version looks quite flavorful with all those other seasonings (doing a mental inventory to gauge whether I have all the ingredients). I might try and make it one day when I'm feeling up to a challenge.

@periuktembaga6436 6 жыл бұрын

Cool! The clueless me simply sautee smashed garlic, add water, salt pepper n in goes the mee suah. Perhaps some vegs whicever available. Once the noodle boils, break an egg in and they are super already for me. Yur ama's is the luxurious version indeed... will whip up ama's version when i have company over

A nice bowl of Mee Sua that warms the stomach as well as our hearts. 😉 Another good way to eat Mee Sua is to cook it in 十全大补汤. Absolutely yummy if you like it herbal. By the way, what type of Mee Sua do you prefer? Fuzhou Mee Sua is really good. I really think Mee Sua from Malaysia is better in quality and texture compared to those we find in our local supermarts as they are either locally made or from Hong Kong/China. Just my 2 cents.

@spicenpans 6 жыл бұрын

Agreed. After trying the one from Malaysia, we never turned back. The noodles are more chewy and less likely to turn gluey. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 very good.

what is the best time to do first boiling in order to get good clear stock/soup from chicken and meat, brother?

@spicenpans 6 жыл бұрын

Hihi. We attended a short cooking session by a Michelin starred chef once and he showed us how clear chicken consommé was made. Once your soup stock is ready, add finely raw minced chicken into the broth. As the minced chicken gets cooked, the coagulation of the chicken will trap the fats, making the broth clear.
