Dinner: Hokkien Mee

Are you wondering why this is called hokkien mee? Mmm seriously i olso had the QUESTONS mark dropping onto my head when i 1st heard HB called it... i thought its the hokkien mee with prawns and mee hoon... but some people called this claypot noodles as well but i had no claypot @ home.. so i just cooked it over my pot.

i did a search over the net and found this....

There are two types of Hokkien mee: Hokkien hae mee and Hokkien char mee. Hokkien hae mee (Hokkien prawn noodles) is commonly served in Penang and Singapore while Hokkien char mee (Hokkien fried noodles) is commonly served in Kuala Lumpur and the Klang Valley. The dish commonly referred to as "Hokkien mee", depending on the locality, can mean either Hokkien hae mee or Hokkien char mee.

so what i did is supposed to be:


Hokkien char mee (Hokkien/Fujian fried noodles; 福建炒麺) is served in Kuala Lumpur and the surrounding region. It is a dish of thick yellow noodles braised in thick dark soy sauce with pork, squid, fish cake and cabbage as the main ingredients and cubes of pork fat fried until crispy. But since we don't take seafoods.. so i replaced it with homemade meatballs.

How it looked inside... Extra crunch due to water chestnut & carrots added in.
