Hand-Torn Noodle Soup <br> 手撕板麵 <br/>

Hand-torn noodle soup is relatively well-known in Malaysia and Singapore.

I have been eating this noodle soup since childhood time, though I have been thinking to learn to make but I never put into action.. Today, I finally make this and I'm glad it turns out to taste quite tasty.

INGREDIENTS (1 SERVING)

Soup stock

Water ... 800 ml

Dried anchovies ... Small hand grab

Small onion ... Quarter

Radish (cut about 2-inch length and slice) ... 8 to 10 slices

Carrot (cut about 2-inch length and slice) ... 8 to 10 slices

Dough

All-purpose flour ... 3 quarter cup (equivalent to 96 g)

Salt water ... Dilute 1/2 Tsp salt in 90 ml water

Cooking oil ... 1 Tsp

Dipping sauce

Bird's eye chili (chopped) ... 1

Minced garlic ... 1 Tsp

Light soy sauce ... 1 Tbsp

Green lime juice ... 1 to 2 Tsp

Other Ingredients

Minced garlic ... 1 Tsp

Fish cake ... Few slices

Any kind of pork meat balls / fishballs ... 2 to 3 balls

Marinade:

Light soy sauce ... 1/2 Tsp

Sesame oil ... Few drops

Sugar ... 1/2 Tsp

♪ Note ♪

Do not use too much corn starch to marinate minced pork as it will thicken and affect the clarity of soup.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place all soup stock ingredients into a sauce pan with 800 ml water, boil over medium-high heat for 5 min, and then turn low-heat and boil for another 20 min.

2. Form dough by adding salt water gradually to 3 quarter cup all-purpose flour.

Knead about 10 min until dough texture is not sticky.

Add 1 Tsp of cooking oil and knead again for 1 min.

Form dough into a ball shape.

Cover with plastic wrap and set aside until it is ready to cook.

3. Mix all ingredients for dipping sauce in a dip bowl and set aside.

4. Heat 1 Tbsp of cooking oil in pan / wok. Saute 1 Tsp of minced garlic until fragrant.

5. Pour in soup stock and bring to a boil.

6. Pull and tear dough into thin and bite-sized pieces and add directly into boiling soup stock.

7. Add minced pork, follow by fish ball and fish cake slices, and lastly choy sum.

8. Season soup with 1/2 or 1 Tsp of salt.

9. Turn off heat and serve while it is hot.

♪ FOOTNOTE ♪ Some people will love to enjoy tom yam soup base, skip salt seasoning if you are adding tom yam bouillon / paste so it will not get too salty.
