Fried mee hoon with roast pork and leeks

Leek (蒜) have the same pronunciation as counting (算)therefore we must make sure there are lots of leeks in the house so that there will be lots of money to count in the coming year. All these symbolic foods must be eaten during the 15 days of the festival. I decided to fry mee hoon with the leeks and roast pork for lunch since everybody is at home. 

Ingredients  

4 medium size leeks

5 pieces of A1 mee hoon

This is the Chinese roast pork from praying to the Jade Emperor on the 9^th day

Take out the required amount to cook

Soak the mee hoon to soften it before you start to prepare the other ingredients.

Wash the leek properly especially the leaf end because there will be dirt trapped between the leaves

Slice the leek slantwise

Heat up 2 tbsp oil in the wok

Put in the roast pork and fry until fragrant (the pork will release some oil as it cooks)

Add 2 tsp chopped garlic

Mix thoroughly

Put in the leek and stir until it is well coated with the oil

Add:

1 tbsp dark soya sauce

2 tbsp oyster sauce

1 tbsp light soya sauce

Season with a little salt and pepper

Mix thoroughly and then add 300 ml hot water

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

Keep on stirring until the mee hoon has absorbed almost all the liquid. 

Dish up and serve
