Cantonese Fried Yee Mee


Yee Mee according to Wikipedia is "a type of fried, chewy noodles made from wheat flour and egg or lye-water".
Here in KL, you can buy it anywhere; market, Chinese sundry shops and hypermarkets.


Yee Mee is Kiersten's and Christian's favourite staple. Whether it is made soupy or dry "kuo lou", they will never say no to it, but instead ... asking for more.

Since, it is their favourite ... i'd made it into their Lunch Box hall-of-fame!

This is how i cook the "kuo lou" Yee Mee ...

Ingredients (made for 2 Tods)
1 1/2 Yee Mee
6 Cherry tomato (you can have a variety of your favourite vegetables such as corn, sweet pea, bok choy, the list goes on)
50g Minced Chicken (HALAL for school)
1/2 clove Garlic
2 tbsp Olive Oil

To Prepare Ingredients:
1 tsp Soya Sauce to marinate minced chicken (for 5 mins will do)
Halved Cherry Tomatoes
Minced Garlic

To Prepare Yee Mee "kuo Lou" sauce:
2 tbsp Soya Sauce
2 tbsp sweet sauce (Kicap Manis)
1 tsp Sesame Oil
A dash of White Pepper

To Cook:
  • Boil a small pot of water to cook the Yee Mee just like how you cook Maggi Mee - simmer for 8mins to be really soft
  • Then remove from pot and drain the water

At the same time ...

  • Stir fry minced garlic and cherry tomato to slightly brown
  • Mix the minced chicken in and stir fry slightly
  • Pour in the cooked Yee Mee to stir fry for a minute
  • Pour in the "sauce" mixture and continue to stir fry for another 1 min

Ta-da .... ready to serve and enjoy :)
