Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams egg noodles
- 200 grams minced pork
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce, dark
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce, light
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon white pepper
- 200 milliliters chicken stock
- 150 grams char siu (barbecued pork)
- 2 stalks spring onions
- 3 tablespoons fried shallots
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 3 cloves garlic
Instructions
Start by preparing the garlic oil. Mince the garlic cloves and heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and fry until golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions or until just tender. Drain and rinse the noodles with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
In a separate pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the prepared garlic oil over medium heat. Add the minced pork and cook until browned.
Add 1 tablespoon of dark soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of light soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, and 0.5 teaspoon of white pepper to the minced pork. Stir well and let it cook for a few minutes until the pork is fully cooked and the sauce is concentrated. Set aside.
Slice the char siu (barbecued pork) thinly and set aside.
Finely chop the spring onions and set aside for garnish.
In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon of dark soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of light soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon fish sauce. Pour this mixture over the cooked noodles and toss to combine.
Divide the seasoned noodles equally into serving bowls. Top each bowl with a portion of the cooked minced pork, sliced char siu, and a sprinkle of chopped spring onions and fried shallots.
Serve the kolo mee immediately, with a side of chicken stock, if desired, for added moisture and flavor.
