Another simple-dish-all-in-at-one-go for a busy mom cooking a balance diet meal in a hurry ...! I deep fried one yee mee at a time and placed it in a plate. Fried an egg and put next to the mee. In a separate pot, sautee 8-10 bulbs of chopped garlics until browning and fragrant. Take out half of the garlic and the oil, put aside. Pour water into the pot and bring to boil. Throw in all (veggies, meat, seafood) until the soup boil again, then add in salt & sugar to taste. Dash in pepper if you like. To serve: Put a little bit of oyster sauce on the mee, scoop in the ingredients and top it to the mee, then garnish with fried garlics (and its oil if you like) Finally, pour the boiling soup, yee mee will automatically soften...stir evenly then ... Bismillah... (For 4 serving plates) Clear soup; 2 cups plain water salt and sugar to taste peppper Suggested ingredients: chicken meat - diced prawn - peel off head and skin squid - cut fish cake - sliced sawi - cut carrot- sliced baby corn mu

KakElle's laksa nyonya looks very tempting and mouth watery ... alamak tak boleh tahan....Reached home at 6.15pm, I took my own sweet time dang ding dong and within more or less than 45 mins., my food tester has two thumbs up. Maybe my mind had pre-set that laksa should taste a bit sour, I added a piece or two tamarind skin to the original recipi. Dinner served at 7.00pm. naked laksa mee with garnishing as suggested by KakElle I have only middle saized prawn and had cooked it together with daun kesum into gravy the closed-up Great thanks for the recipi, KakElle...
