Home made Pumpkin noodles (南瓜手工面条)

This is the simple pumpkin noddles that i usually cook on a free and easy Saturday. On Saturday my kids would wake up quite late. Not like school days they would have to wake up at 5.30am as school start at 6.50am. So on Saturday i would let them lay in bed for a little be longer ..
自家动手做面条,南瓜手工面条,口感真的不一样呢!带点QQ很爽口。
这面条是我家常收到订单的一道午餐。通常都会在星期六做这道南瓜面条。宝贝们的最爱:p
There is 2 parts to prepare !) make the noddles 2) cook the toppings. You can prepare both a day ahead. The next day just cook and serve.


Crispy ikan bilis cook from mircowave oven.
It is easy to have nice and crispy ikan bilis (dried anchovies) in minutes Just clean and split
the ikan bilis. Rinse and shake off excess water. Arrange on a flat plate, single layer. Put into the mircowave and mircowave high power level for 3 to 4 minutes. Take out from the mircowave and let it cool. Crispy ikan bilis is done when it is cool. Store in the air tight container.

Pumpkin Noodles (南瓜手工面条)
Recipe adapted from kuali.com by Amy Beh
Serve 5


Ingredients
160g pumpkin
400g plain flour
½ tsp salt
1 egg
1 tsp corn oil
Tapioca flour for dusting


To Do:
Slice off pumpkin skin and remove the seeds. Cut into cubes. Steam the pumpkin until soft. Mash through a fine wire sieve into a paste. (I remove the seeds and clean the pumpkin with skin on. Steam until soft then scoop the flesh out then mash through a a fine wire sieve into a paste)

Sift flour into a large mixing bowl and add salt. Add egg, pumpkin paste and oil. Blend well and knead into a stiff dough. Cover dough with a tea towel and leave aside for 1½-2 hours.

Dust table top with tapioca flour and flatten the dough into a thin flat rectangle. Lightly sprinkle or dust with tapioca flour and cut into four rectangular pieces. Lightly dust the pieces with tapioca flour to prevent sticking. 
Adjust the knob of a noodle machine to the widest setting. Turn the rollers slowly. Insert a piece of dough and keep passing the dough through the machine. Decrease the roller spacing each time until you get the thickness that you want. 



For the final stage, pass the sheet of dough through the cutting machine to make the noodle strands. Repeat the procedure with the remaining pieces of dough. Dust the noodles lightly with tapioca flour and store them in airtight container in the refrigerator.

Toppings:
Mince pork
280g mince pork 
3 pcs chinese mushroom (clean, soak and diced, keep the soak water)
some black chinese fungus (clean, soak and shredded)
2 cloves garlic- chopped
1/4 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
2 tsp light soy sauce
a generous dash of pepper

To Do:
Add some oil in a wok, saute till it is fragrance. Add in mince pork stir-fry over medium heat until it is cook. Add in diced mushroom and black fungus, stir-fry for another minute or two. Add in seasoning, taste. (the taste of the topping is up to individual liking. You may adjust to your own liking) Dish up and side aside.

Fried crispy garlic and shallots
2 cloves garlic 
3 shallots
Peel both garlic and shallot. Chopped the garlic and slice the shallot. Put both into a mircowave oven proof bowl. Add some oil (just enough to cover the garlic and shallot). Zap in the mircowave oven for 3-4 minutes to make crispy garlic and shallots. 

Some crispy ikan bilis and sayur cangkuk
Some dried sambal chilli

To assemble the bowl of home made pumpkin noodles
Cook the noodles

  • Boiled a pot of water. While waiting the water to boil, divide the noodles into portions. Normally 1 make 1 serving per portion. 
  • Prepare a plate add in 1 tbsp of garlic and shallot oil (the oil that use to fried crispy garlic and shallot) 1 tbsp light soy sauce. 
  • Once the water boil, throw in the noodles. You can loosen the noodles with a pair of long chopstick. When the noodles float up mean it is cook or you can pick a piece of noodle out to taste its doneness.
  • Put the cooked noodles into the prepared plate, mix it thoroughly with the garlic oil an light soy sauce.
  • Add the mince pork topping, crispy fried garlic and shallots. Top along the side with the blanch sayur cangkuk and top with crispy ikan bilis (crispy anchovies).
  • Serve immediately with dried sambal chilli.

This Shark Fin Dumpling (yu chi gow), is one of my favorite dumpling. Although it is named Shark Fin Dumpling, but they contain no actual shark fin in it. Some say the look and shape of the dumpling does look like shark fin and other do include in imitation shark fin, though. I am lucky to have spotted this long hibernating in the book shelf chinese dim sum book ‘香港地道小吃’ translated as 'Hong Kong Authentic Tapas' Well, Do, you find this look like Shark's Fin?? 看看形状像不像鱼翅呢??  Filling for the ingredients are prawn, mince meat, carrot, yam bean and black fungus. Get ready the filling and the wanton wrappers. This is the parade of my Shark's Fin dumpling ... lol Homemade parchment paper liner. Arrange them neatly into the bamboo steamer. HOT! HOT! From the steamer!! Loaded with filling ..YUM! ENJOY~ Shark Fin Dumpling (yu chi gow) (Scallop dumpling /Cilantro dumpling - depends which filling you using) Recipe adapted from  ‘香港地
