Step-by-step guide to cook Singapore Hokkien Mee at home
Posted by Divine Chef on
Hokkien mee. Every Singaporean will be familiar with this home grown hawker dish. Best eaten in a hot sweltering hawker centre, the good ones will leave you wanting more. This is today's dinner challenge from the FAMILY. I heard the key to a great tasting Hokkien Mee is the prawn broth and that is really the case.
Ingredients (serves 7)
- 400g Fresh yellow noodles (I used spaghetti because the noodles needed to cook quite a bit in the broth and I did not want to end up with soggy noodles)
- 350g thick rie vermicelli
- 450g whole prawns (peeled with heads, tails, shells set aside for the broth)
- 350g squid (I didn't use any today because our nearby Fairprice was out of of fresh ones)
- 250g pork belly sliced thinly
- 1 pack of fish cake slice thinly
- 50g spring onions/chives cut into 3 cm strips
- 1000ml chicken stock (I used my homemade chicken stock paste to make this)
- 3-4 eggs
- 3 chopped garlic and 3 chopped shallots
- Fish sauce, pepper, sesame oil to taste
- Cooking oil
- Sambal tomato chilli (bright red sambal chilli) - check out my homemade sambal chilli recipe
- Small green limes
Directions <Thermomix directions>
- Saute the prawn heads and shells in about 15ml of cooking oil until fragrant <stir/reverse/5min/varoma>
- Add chicken stock to the prawn shells to make the prawn broth. Stir and crush the prawn heads and shells
- Cook the broth for about 40-60min <stir/40min/90 degree>
- Scald the pork belly, squid and prawns briefly
- In your wok, add about 15ml of cooking oil to scramble the eggs and set aside
- Saute the garlic and shallots until fragrant, add noodles and vermicelli in high heat
- Add eggs, and 1/3 prawn broth and season with fish sauce, dash of pepper and sesame oil
- When the sauce looks dry, add some more broth, add cover to braise the noodles on low/medium heat for about 10 minutes
- Finally add in the fish cake slices, squids, pork slices, prawns, spring onion, and the remaining broth and stir fry
- Serve with green limes and sambal chilli
