Bak Chor Mee


Bak Chor Mee is one of Joshua's favorite food. However, due to his low-carb diet, he has been refraining from eating such a carbo-loaded dish for the past half a year. Since both my kids are in school, I have more time to experiment with recipes and I decided to satisfy my husband's craving. I used bean vermicelli which has low in carbohydrates, something you won't find outside. Furthermore, I increased the serving and variety of the ingredients: green leafy veg, meat balls, fishcake, pig's liver, stewed mushrooms and fried minced pork. It turned out really well and we enjoyed eating it.

Unfortunately, the bean vermicelli has to be served fresh or it'll clump together and does not taste as nice anymore. It was quite stressful with two hungry kids waiting impatiently while I cooked the noodles and mix in the sauces. I guess I'll cook more of this dish when the kids are older and more willing to wait.
