A home recipe loved by the family and relatives. It's hard to find ban mian (hand-made noodles) with laksa gravy. Some might think you'll get the ger-luk taste (sick of getting after a few spoonfuls), but when paired with mint leaves, it brings about a refreshing taste!
Ingredients
Hand-made noodles
1kg plain flour
1 egg
water
Laksa gravy
Dried shrimps - 200gm
Lemon grass - 2 stalks
Chilli paste for laksa/chicken curry
Coconut milk / fresh milk - 1 pack
Water (if needed)
Cockles / chicken
Mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
Hand-made noodles:
Pour the flour into a large plate and create a ‘volcano-like’shape. Add in water into the flour and knead into a dough. Include beaten egg into the dough to create the ‘Q’ effect!
It should form like this.
Roll out the dough into pancake sized circles and slice into strips of noodles. Alternatively you could just pull the dough out anyway you want to have it like Mee Hoon Kuay.
Stir-fry the dried shrimps to bring out its flavour.
Add in chilli paste (3/4 of what you have prepared) and lemon grass.
Add in coconut milk/fresh milk (for healthier alternative) and allow the gravy to boil.
Simmer in small fire till dried shrimps and lemon grass softens.
Stir-fry remaining ¼ of chilli paste and add in cockles/chicken.
Boil the noodles in a separate pot of boiling water.
Add in laksa gravy to the noodles and serve with cockles/chicken and mint leaves.
