2. Take the egg out. Fry the Prawns till pink and set them aside too.

3. Heat the pan again. Add in chopped garlic and onion. Sauté a bit. 

4. Add the Hokkien noodles in. Stir fry a bit. Add in 2 tsp dark soy sauce, 1 tsp light soy sauce and 1/2 pepper powder. Stir evenly.

5. Put the Prawns back in the pan, also add chopped cabbage and chye sim stem. Stir fry a bit. Pour in 1 cup broth. ( I used the Prawn ribs broth which I made before)

6. Simmer for 5 mins. Add in bean sprouts, chye sim leaves.

Fried Burdock 

Leave a comment

I used to think burdock can be only used as tea or medicine herbs. I never thought it could be cooked as usual vegetables.

Burdock is very good for health. This dish is very simple. Just rinse burdock in water, remove the peel. Then cut into think slices. Thin slices are easy to cook and will be very crunchy. Dust burdock slices with flour. 

Heat oil in the pan. Fry burdock slices till both sides turn golden brown.


No need to add any seasoning. Burdock tastes a bit sweet itself.
