1 Recipe Savory Meat Sauce
1 Recipe Spicy And Crispy Chili Paste
2 to 3 Tbsp of Crispy Garlic Butter Oil
½ Cup Deep-Fried Anchovies
¼ Cup Crispy Fried Shallot
½ Recipe Anchovy Broth/Stock
1 ½ Cups Sweet/Mani Vegetables

Cook a portion of the noodles until al dente. Remove the noodles with a wire strainer and shake off any excess water. Then cracked in an egg into the boiling water. Let it the egg cook for about 3 to 4 minutes,use a wire strainer to scoop the egg.Remove and set aside.

  1. Hi. I tried to get mani vegetables here in Germany so often already - sadly without any luck. My Vendor is not able to order it as well. Is there a way to substitute the mani vegetable swith something else? Bok Choi? Kangkung?
    Like your recipe. Curious how it turns out. Thx

Dumplings

I'm actually laughing at myself! What have I got into? Trying to make dumplings?? Well, I have seen my late grandmother make them a long time ago. I can remember the ingredients but not the measurements! So, it took me about two hours to come up with the perfect recipes, and I'm glad I did! It was an instant hit! They were all gone, all gobbled up! Make the dough first, add about 480 to 500g of all-purpose flour with 300ml of water. Knead the dough and let it rest. You should be able to make 40 dumplings with the dough. Meanwhile, prepare the filling for the dumplings. Click here for the dumpling wrappers video.
