Welcome to Mrs. Lin's Kitchen
Today, I'm going to show you how to make
the Taiwanese Style Stir Fried Rice Noodle
or Chow Me Fun in mandarin Chinese
This is a popular Taiwanese dish that
almost every Taiwanese family
has its own version at home
Today, I'm going to share
my mom's signature recipe.
So let's get started!
Here is the ingredients overview.
Instead of ground pork,
you can also use shredded pork butt
or pork shoulder.
If you are allergic to shellfish,
you can leave out the dried shrimp.
In Asian supermarket,
you'll find many different
brands and packages
of rice noodle.
The one that's preferred is made from Taiwan.
I use the “Buddha Brand”
because that's the one my mom always use.
But you can also use
the one that's called Hsinchu Rice Noodles
or Puli Rice Noodles.
Or use the thinnest type of dried rice noodle
that you can find in the market.
Let’s prepare the ingredients.
Bring a pot of water to a boil
and use the hot water to soak
rice noodle between 6 to 8 minutes
You do not want the noodle
too soft that will break apart easily
Drain the water
and cut the noodle into shorter strings
with kitchen scissor.
Reconstitute the dried shiitake
mushrooms in water
It will take somewhere
between 30 minutes to an hour
for the mushrooms to become soft.
Remember to save the mushroom water
to use later when we stir fry the noodle.
Slice the soaked mushrooms into thin strips.
Soak the dried shrimp in water for half an hour.
Then chop coarsely.
Cut the carrot into thin strips.
Thinly slice the shallot.
You’ll need 1 cup of sliced shallot
for this recipe.
Chop the cilantro.
Now, we can stir fry the noodle
In a wok, add 2 tbsp of oil.
Saute sliced shallot until fragrant.
Next, add mushroom into the wok
and stir everything together
If the mixture is too dry,
you can add some of the mushroom water
we save earlier.
Add dried shrimp
and continue to stir everything together
Pour 2 tbsp of soy sauce into the wok
and stir fry until fragrant
Lastly, add the ground pork
and stir until the pork is no longer pink.
Take everything out and set aside.
Add 1 tbsp of oil into a clean wok,
sauté the carrot.
Pour in some mushroom water if the carrot is too dry
Add the rice noodle
and half of the sauté pork mixture.
Start tossing and mixing everything together.
Using 2 pairs of cooking chopsticks will help with this task
Add mung bean sprout
and keep mixing
Combine the rest of the sauté pork
into the noodle.
Lastly, add 1 tbsp of soy sauce
and some extra mushroom water.
Sprinkle salt to taste.
Make sure everything is well mixed
and heated evenly
Transfer into a large plate,
garnish with cilantro
and your Taiwanese style stir fried rice noodle is
ready to be served.
So here is my Taiwanese
Stir Fried Rice Noodle
It looks complicated
but it's actually quite a simple recipe
I usually like to serve it
for family gathering
in a party
or on a Sunday afternoon
