Hi Judy,

I'm still new at this, I normally leave it to my husband to do this kind of
thing but it looks like fun so please forgive me if I make mistakes (like
replying to Judy instead of to the group).

I was surfing the net for some other thing related to Malaysian food and
came across this thread and decided to subscribe to this newsgroup so I
could share some recipes with you. I'm a Malaysian married to an American.
DC and Fuji know him as Nathan )

I was going to share with you a beef rendang recipe that I love but I see DC
already beat me to it by sharing some. I may still share it later. In the
meantime, here's one that a friend shared with me that makes a very good
meal.

Tom Yam fried meehoon

200g meehoon/rice vermicelli/bihun--I like the Wai Wai brand (soaked) n
drained

2-3 tbsp vegetable oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tbsp brown bean paste

2 tbsp tom yam paste (can be found in Asian grocery store)

125g medium sized prawns (shrimp), shelled n deveined

100g chicken meat, shredded or any other meat

1/4 tsp salt & 1/2 tsp sugar & 1/2 tsp sesame oil, shake of white pepper

1 piece beancurd cake (taukwa), fried n sliced. (I just use firm tofu that
is already fried bought from Asian market)

100g chives, cut into 4cm lengths

2 cups bean sprouts

seasoning :-

1 tsp fish sauce, 1/4 tsp thick soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1/2 tsp sugar,
dash of pepper and 1/2 cup chicken stock

Season shrimp and chicken with salt, sugar, pepper and sesame oil. Heat oil
in saute pan and saute over medium heat until just cooked and set aside.

In same pan, saute the garlic, brown bean paste and tom yam paste for a few
minutes (if needed, add a little bit more oil) and then add the noodles.
Immediately pour in the combined seasoning and mix well. If the noodles
look like they are drying out, you may want to add a little more water.
It'll be plenty flavorful so don't worry that it'll dilute the flavor.

Add beancurd, chicken, shrimp, chives and beansprouts and mix.

Feel free to garnish with green onions, sliced red chiles, fried shallots
and fried egg. Dish out and eat. Delicious.

I'll send out more recipes when I have the time. I have a really good
recipe for Ayam Pongteh (a nyonya dish).

Cheers, Annie
