Tomato soup to go with the very fragrant foccacia bread sitting on my kitchen counter.

And lastly, to round off tonight's dinner. Homemade passionfruit popsicle. Simply wonderful for hot hot days.

Not one dish meal tonight. But the soup alone can make a meal with the foccacia bread. The chicken of course can be a 1 dish meal.

My kids would love to have the popsicle as their 1 dish meal.

Hi all,


I adapted this fishball mee tai mak recipe from a blog But I forgotten the weblink ( I always goggle the internet and take notes then I forgotten where I got it). I still have the recipe in my log book as I find the soup base is very versatile …I also use it to make Teow chew fish slice porridge or even Steamboat etc. My hubby thumbs up. Try it…

Serves 4
Ingredients
600g Mee Tai Mak
A packet of fish balls (abt 15 pcs)
A few Crabsticks
4 chili fish cakes (white flat type fish cake with cut red chili in it), sliced
250 gram of minced meat, seasoned with 1 tablespoon of light soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of chicken granule, ½ teaspoon of sugar, followed by 1 tablespoon of corn starch, for at least 20 minutes

For soup base:
1 large pig’s bone. (I use ikan bilis (dried anchovies) instead)


2 cloves of garlic, coarsely chopped
1 thick slice of ginger, about thumb size
1 cube of chicken stock essence
1 teaspoon of Thai fish sauce
½ teaspoon of salt
Pinch of grounded white pepper
1 teaspoon of cooking oil
1 pot of water, (about 1500ml)

1 separate pot of water (for blanching of mee tai muk)

Method:
1) Heat large stock pot with oil over high fire. Add in garlics and ginger. Stir-fry till fragrant, and pour in water while it sizzles. Bring pot of water to a boil.

2) When boiled, reduce heat to medium fire. Add pig’s bone and dissolve stock cube in the simmering water. Reduce heat to low fire and let it continue to simmer for 30 minutes, with lid slightly tilted on the pot.

3) Remove lid, remove the pig’s bone from the soup. Lightly loosen the marinated minced pork before adding into the pot. Then, add in fish wanton, fish cake and quill eggs. Drizzle fish sauce, add in salt and pepper. Gently stir to combine well. Simmer further till all ingredients are cooked, for about 6 - 8 minutes.

4) In the meantime, bring separate pot of water to a boil. Blanch mee tai muk in the boiling water for 5 minutes. Heat off. Drain and divide into bowls.

5) When soup is cooked. Heat off and ladle soup with ingredients into each bowl. Serve hot.

Once I can figure out which Weblink, I will update ya.
