Loh Shee Fun with Mince Meat

My all-time favourite. I have been making this dish for yongs now but never seem to get to blogging about it. Either I had no camera with me to photograph the food or by the time I started eating; I would then only remember of wanting to take a picture. Sigh......

Anyway, here it is. Literally an idiot proof recipe and so very, very easy to make and one of Caitlin's favourite meals.

Ingredients: -

- 2 tbsps cooking oil
- 2 packets of Loh Shee Fun (you can get it from wet markets or Chinese sundry shops)
- 300-500g of mince meat (depending on how many people you want to feed)
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 2-3 cloves of garlic, diced
- 1 1/2 tbsps soy sauce
- 1-2 tbsps thick soy sauce (depends how dark/black you want your sauce to be)
- 300-500ml hot water
- 2 tsps sugar
- salt & pepper to taste
- some green leafy vegetable of your choice
- spring onion for garnishing

1. Heat oil in a pot.
2. Add onion and garlic and fry for 1 minute.
3. Add mince meat and continue to fry until cooked.
4. Add soy sauce and thick sauce sauce and stir fry for 30 seconds.
5. Add hot water and simmer for about 5 mins, whilst adding sugar, salt and pepper.
6. Remove from fire after the meat mixture thickens slightly.
7. Meanwhile, with boiling water; blanch the Loh Shee Fun and then the vegetables.
8. Garnish with spring onions and serve as shown.

Voila!!!!

  1. Good post. I must either be REALLY hungry, or I'm really missing home-cooked food, but after reading this post, I found myself gnawing on my laptop monitor... *ouch*
