Min Fan Gou 面粉糕

My very first post here! :D

So, after being very inspired from the success of my Ipoh Bean Sprout Chicken yesterday, I've decided to try out Min Fan Gou or 面粉糕 (Mien Fen Gao in Mandarin). I remember when I was young, my mum used to make it for us during Sundays when she had more time to cook, and it would be my least favourite dish. It was just pieces of flour in soup to me. Then as I grew older and my mum's no longer here to make Min Fan Gou for us, I started to crave for it. See, you'll only start treasuring things when they aren't easily available to you. And there's this one stall near my high school which sold REALLY good dried Min Fan Gou (with sambal) and I grew to love it. The thing about this dish though, is that it's really troublesome. There's some kneading to do, anchovies frying, and soup preparing. So I don't really make this a lot, unless I suddenly get inspired and you know, being the random me, decides to be completely random. :D

So last week, a friend told me he really wanted "that thing that's similar to Pan Mee" which I figured out is Min Fan Gou lol, and since I'm still in good mood for cooking, I've decided to make one today.

Therefore...

Tadaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! :D

The ONE thing missing in my Min Fan Gou is chillies in soy sauce. That's the one thing that I MUST have with Min Fan Gou back in Malaysia. Too bad I can't find any fresh red chillies here. >.<

As usual, I don't really follow any recipes for dishes that I've learnt from my mum. I just like to experiment. :D But for a recipe, check this out. (Note: Usually, wheat flour is used, but I don't have any for the moment, I used all purpose flour instead, which worked out pretty well too. :))

Signing out,

Full and happy bimbo.
