A simple homemade wanton mee with both dry and soup versions, using homemade pork dumplings and a flavourful anchovy soup. The dry noodles are tossed in a simple savoury sauce for an easy hawker style meal at home.
* If your kids prefer soup noodles, serve the noodles with the anchovy soup instead of the dry sauce.
* For younger kids, cut the noodles and wantons into smaller pieces.
* Wanton noodles: You can use any thin egg noodles or noodles you have at home.
* Homemade wantons: Store bought frozen wantons work too.
* Mushroom seasoning : Substitute with a little chicken stock powder or simply season with salt. Or you can use the anchovy soup pack too. Link below
* Shallot oil & fried shallots: You can skip them, but they add a lot of flavour to the noodles.
* Dark soy sauce: Use less if you prefer a lighter coloured noodle.
A refreshing, restaurant style Japanese cold soba that’s surprisingly easy to make at home. Served with a light umami dipping sauce, it’s the perfect meal for hot days and can be paired with your favourite Japanese side dishes for a complete family dinner.
A simple Japanese comfort meal that’s light, nourishing and incredibly easy to make. When I want something warm but not too heavy, this is one of my favourite meals. Grilled salmon, fluffy rice, bonito flakes and furikake are brought together with a comforting bowl of warm tea. It’s simple enough for busy weekdays, yet satisfying enough that all four of my kids finished everything.
Instead of the usual stir fried mee hoon, this version is steamed, making it lighter, less oily and wonderfully hands off. Simply layer everything onto one plate, let the steamer do the work, and dinner is ready with minimal effort.
