Yee Meen In Mushroom Sauce

This dish is similar to the Hot Plate Yee Meen you can normally get at hawker stall or food court. One of my favorite hawker food! yummy~licious! :)

Ingredients:
2 cloves garlic (lightly crushed)
3cm ginger (sliced)
6 dried chilli (soaked)
2 yee meen
6 shiitake mushrooms (soaked)
300g chicken
3 cups water
Oyster sauce
Soy Sauce
Some starch/corn flour

Cut the stem off from shiitake mushroom. Press all the water out from the mushroom. Discard water. Sprinkle some starch/corn flour on the mushroom. Leave aside for 15mins.

Tips: Add 1 tsp of oil into water when soaking the dried mushroom. This will helps to soften the mushroom more quickly.

Adding starch flour to the mushroom will creates a smoother texture after cook.

Cut chicken into pieces, cleaned and marinate with 2 tbsp oyster sauce and 2 tbsp soy sauce for about 20mins.

Saute garlic & ginger until fragrant. Add in dried chilli, follow by chicken. Stir-fry till chicken is almost cook, add mushroom and continue stir-frying for another 30secs. Then add in water, 3 tbsp oyster sauce and 3 tbsp soy sauce. Let it simmer under low heat for 2 hours.

To thicken the sauce, mix 1 tbsp starch flour with 2 tbsp water. Add mixture slowly into the sauce whilst stirring. Repeat thickening if needed.

Tips: You can add in as much water as you prefer, so as long as you maintain a ratio 1:1:1 for water:oyster sauce:soy sauce

Meanwhile, cook yee meen in a boiling water for 45-60 secs. Drain with colander and drizzle with some oil. Mixed well so that the yee meen is well coated.

Heat a pan with 1tsp of oil. Put the yee meen facing flat on the pan. Leave it untouch for 30-45secs, then turn to the other side and repeat the same. Serve yee meen on a deep plate. Pour sauce over it.

Tea Chats: This is a spicy dish, if you prefer a milder taste, put 2 dried chilli instead of 6. I love spicy food, that's why i put 6. :)

Hope you guys will enjoy this scrumptius meal! and Happy Berbuka Puasa to all my muslim friends!
