Pasta with anything - just stir fry some garlic and lots of olive oil with your choice of onions, broccoli, cauliflower, tomatoes, bacon, ham, mixed frozen veg etc. And mix with pasta. easy peasy. You can add tomato sauce if you want.

I have been trying to cook hor fun the hawker centre style. But my hor fun always clumps together

This is what I do :

Heat the wok.
Add oil.
Put the kuay teow in when I see smoke appearing.
Add the dark soy sauce.
Stir fry the kuay teow.

But the kuay teow just clumps up.

Can anybody tell me where I went wrong? Thanks!

Try rinsing the kway teow b4 cooking to separate them.
Helps to remove excessive oil too.

ya, i do that too,
rinse away the existing oil, put it in microwave for a while.
while it's still hot, try separate them before adding some oil and black sauce to fry.

I learnt this recipe from a Taiwan TV cooking prog. Very simple one "Claypot tofu with prawn, squid n pork belly meat". I simplified into claypot egg tofu with pork belly meat since prawn & squid aren’t my children’s favourite items.


Ingredients
1. 2 tubes of egg tofu, thickly sliced and pan fried on both sides.
2. 300g pork belly meat, ask for suitable for braising type, sliced thinly and seasoned with light soya sauce, sesame oil or onion oil, a pinch of pepper
3. 5 big leaves of cabbage, blanched briefly in boiling water with a pinch of salt n little oil to soften slightly
4. some carrot slices and fresh mushroom slices
5. 300ml of soup stock (can be made from stock cubes)

Method
1. Blanch the cabbages leaves. Arrange these in the claypot.
2. Pan fry the egg tofu. Remove from pan and put these on top of the cabbage leaves in the claypot.
3. Pan fry the pork belly slices. Remove from pan and put these around the egg tofu in the claypot.
4. Saute 2-3 pieces of ginger (thin slices) and a few garlic (peeled) in some oil in the same pan used to fry the pork belly meat.
5. Add the carrots and mushrooms slices and fry a while.
6. Add the soup stock, bring to a boil. Pour the mixture into the claypot.
7. Simmer the claypot for 30 mins.

The original recipe with the prawn n squid follows a similar method. The prawn n squid are added into the boiling soup mixture for a while.

I used stock cube, so I do not add any soya sauce or salt.
