Equipment
- Wok
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp peanut oil
- 8 curry leaf
- 1 lb shrimp peeled and deveined
- 1 pack tofu firm, cut into bite-sized cubes
- 2 tbsp dried shrimp
- 4 dried chili
- 5 clove garlic
- 4 cherry tomato
- 1 potato cooked, peeled, cut into bite-sized cubes
- 1 lb fresh yellow noodles
- 1 cup mung bean sprout
- 3 tbsp kecap manis
- ¾ tbsp tamarind pulp
- 1 tbsp curry powder
- 2 tbsp dark soy sauce
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 3 egg
- 2 petal cabbage shredded for garnish
- 1 lime
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: cook the noodles per package instructions; add the garlic, dried chili, and dried shrimp soaked in 2 tablespoons of water for 10 minutes to a spice grinder and grind until smooth; peel, devein, rinse and drain the shrimp; and make the sauce mixture by mixing the soy sauce, dark soy sauce, kecap manis and curry powder with the tamarind pulp in a bowl and keep aside. Heat a wok with the peanut oil. Add a clove of crushed garlic and the curry leaves. Sauté for a few seconds and add the shrimp and stir fry for 2-3 minutes on high heat. Push the shrimp to one side of the wok and add the tofu and fry on high heat for a minute.
- Push the ingredients to one side of the wok, and add a spoonful of oil if it gets sticky. Add the spice paste and fry until fragrant for 1-2 minutes. Add the potato and the cherry tomato and stir briefly.
- Now, add the cooked and drained noodles. Stir fry for 1-2 minutes and then add the sauce mixture and combine them well. Optionally, break an egg on one side of the wok and cover the egg with the noodles for a minute. Then, break the egg apart and stir fry in quick wrist movements.
- Add the bean sprouts and garnish with shredded cabbage on top. Serve hot with a wedge of lime on the side.
Notes
- High heat will help char the noodles a little bit. Please add a little oil when necessary, especially when the ingredients start sticking to the wok.
- Some chefs like to add greens such as bok choy, choy sum, kankong or even spinach to the noodles.
