Ee Fu Noodles



Tried my hand at Aaron's fav Ee fu noodles. I saw this recipe in a cookbook in Cold Storage and immediately bought the book. Not bad. It has other recipes from Hong Kong and i've tried out one other noodle dish. Good and simple, like Hong Kong noodles.

There is no meat in the recipe but i decided to add some on my own. A bit weird lar.. no meat. Added some small pieces of pork. Aaron absolutely loved it but i tot it was okay only. My very efficient geunie piggy suggested that maybe i could change the type of mushrooms i used. The recipe said to add chinese mushrooms and button mushroom. Going to try and use straw mushies and shitake next time. Instead of mushroom water, i'm going to try and use chicken stock and chicken meat. I also want to try and retain the original Ee fu noodle taste as it adds flavour to the dish. Well, as we Asians know how to cook out type of food, it's a relatively easy dish that you can play with. Add your own veges or maybe even prawns.
