Fried yee mee

Yee mee is pre-fried egg noodles that are often cooked with thick gravy so that it retains the crunchy taste. It is also used for steam boat and in claypot noodles. I like to fry it as a change from mee hoon or tang hoon.

Ingredients

1piece skinless chicken breast

1 packet pak choi

2 pieces dried yee mee

Slice the chicken and marinate with:

1 tsp light soya sauce

Salt and pepper

½ tsp sesame oil

1 tbsp corn flour

Cut the pak choi and separate the stems from the leaves

Fry some chopped garlic until fragrant then add the chicken

When the chicken has changed colour add the pak choi stems and stir until slightly soft

Add the leaves and mix thoroughly

Add 2 tbsp dark soy sauce

1 tbsp oyster sauce

Season with salt and pepper

The yee mee is quite salty so be careful how much salt to add

Mix well and add 300 mls water

Put in the yee mee and stir to make sure everything is well mixed

Keep on stirring until the yee mee has absorbed almost all the liquid 

Dish up and serve immediately
