Bought a packet of Koey Teow from the mini market. Alamak....the mini market fella put that in the fridge....all the oil was conjugated (is that the word?? ...soli oh my england ah). *Aha..thanks Mei Yee.. that is the word - coagulated.*
after a swim in the water, the Keoy Teow was still one big lump. okay la...add some hot water...alamak.. it became too soft pulak. Oh well, nevr mind...maybe after frying it will turn out okay, right?
Chopped some garlic . Forgotten to buy taugeh(Bean sprout) but replace with carrot lah.
Throw everything into the wok and fry with big fire.....
End result......
That koay teow itself is very important. I think mamarazzi used the one not suitable for frying so ended up not nice. Did small kucing and paparazzi eat it?
ReplyDeleteany idea which brand suitable to fry?
DeleteWell, what IS CKT? We do not have any here. I am looking at your baby pictures, you are and were SO cute!!
ReplyDeleteOver here it's short form for Char Keoy Teow. Char kway teow, literally "stir-fried ricecake strips", is a popular noodle dish in Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore
DeleteHow was the taste??? It looks fine to me!!! =]
ReplyDeletetaste ah errr errr......how to say it diplomatically ah...errr...errr
DeleteIt is ok, first timer. Maybe Mamarazzi need to find a recipe for it. Keep learning!
ReplyDeleteyea...have to see...looks like checking out CKT stalls doesnt work
DeleteHaha, why J looks like that? Nice mou mamarazzi's ckt? Oh yes, ckt of coz if bought outside taste better, coz they have enuff "wok hei".. Their fire and wok so big ahh, sure nice lor.. But home-cooked is good too..
ReplyDeleteWhat seasoning mamarazzi put? Black kicap, soya sauce, pepper, somemore? me ahh, if fry mee or kuey-teow, everything more or less the same only.. Garlic, meat, choy-sum or cabbage, throw in the noodles, add soya sauce, wee bit of oyster sauce, wee bit of black kicap, pepper, water, kautim.. Some colleagues teach add some cili boh, but I'm not a fan of cili boh, so no add..
So J finished the ckt mou?
fire big enough but just the CKT too wet and sticking to each other lo, Like makan kueh
DeleteLooks really good though. nicer than mine. Watch out for mine - post on it coming soon. Will come out of the fridge hard - no need to do anything - just peel and separate the strands and fry - will turn soft soon enough. I know some people steam first, not nice lah like that.
ReplyDeleteyours looks much nicer
DeleteI think the word you're looking for is 'coagulated'. Hehe
ReplyDeleteYes, the kuey teow we get here is also in the fridge, so it's one big lump before frying too!
Thanks Mei. That;'s the word Mamarazzi was looking for. :)
DeleteHaha ... so kucing enjoy the ckt or not ?
ReplyDeleteerrr.....got leftover which papa helped to clear up...so you say leh
DeleteSeeing them do it is easy, but own self fry like very hard, kaka...
ReplyDeleteyea lo
DeleteAt least better than me... hor fun har yan chau, I think... :)
ReplyDeletehai lor....very bully leh
DeleteWhy your boy's face so grumpy LOL. Looks good though! I haven't tried to do char kueh tiaw at home yet, because our stove fire is not strong like those hawker or restaurant lor!
ReplyDeletecoz the CKT so ugly lo
Deletewah, Mamarazzi so ambitious thought the CKT is very easy to cook?? hahaha, if everybody also can cook, then those CKT stall also no need to operate lah, but instead we always see long queue at some CKT stalls if they are really nice, and people won't mind waiting (or perhaps kena scolded by rude boss also don't mind).. i think similar to hokkien mee, easy to cook maybe but difficult to make it taste good leh..
ReplyDeletesaw in the stalls like very easy mah...just toss everything in and krang krang kau tim. mana tau.......
Deletewah, conjugated?? errr Uncle SK also tarak tahu, his England is even more London than Mamarazzi lah.. better ask English teachers how to say that.. Mamarazzi must tell the boss that his fridge is too cold lah, until the koay teow also frozen already.. hmmm, maybe use hot water to cooked makes the koay teow taste not so nice and not so easy to cook kot?? why Mamarazzi no use microwave to defrost??
ReplyDeletelater kena scold by the boss leh...aji ah jor... LOL
Deletetarak microwaves.
fuyoh, again!! Mamarazzi's cooking time is all about improvising!! no taugeh no kerang, use carrot and squid aje lah.. but then okay woh, Uncle SK thinks the carrot also goes well with the CKT and then makes the CKT looks more colorful and nicer too, presentation deil.. but seems like Small Kucing not so happy with that "infamous" CKT from Mamarazzi woh..
ReplyDeletemust practice more...now who wanna be white mice ya
Deleteso in the end, better still pay RM5 and enjoy a nice plate of CKT outside right?? hmmm, i think maybe one thing missing lah, pork lard and also some good soy sauce?? sure these are secret weapon of the CKT stalls..
ReplyDeleteya wor....maybe visit brickfileds soon LOL
DeleteHahaha Small Kucing look is priceless!
ReplyDeleteAiyoh, next time buy the already kopek cockles la.... No need to do extra work. Just pay extra only. Hihihi
ReplyDeletegot ka? where?
DeleteI know that fried keoy teoy very difficult as the noodle get burnt easily! Thumbs up!
ReplyDeleteneed to try out more and see
Deletemuahahahaha!!! That expression on your face is priceless!
ReplyDelete:p
DeleteI've had disasters frying kuey teow. You are right; the stall owners made it so simple. Practiced a few times and now I'm ok. Quite tempting version you've made esp with the lap cheong.
ReplyDeleteyes with lap cheong nice
DeleteJ, why your face liddat...CKT no good meh?...hehehe
ReplyDeleteDear Mamarazzi, Happy Mother's Day to you.
LOL...
DeleteThanks
Sotong CKT really got ala seafood leh...Penang one got put prawn mantis lagi tu.
ReplyDeletewah...sure expansive
DeleteIf KT put in fridge, is better to thaw it. It will turn soft slowly. U add hot water become sticky.
ReplyDeletebut already thaw ...still sticky wor
DeleteI like the addition of squids :D
ReplyDeleteCoz no prawns lOL
DeleteHaha, sorry... can't help but to laugh at J's expression! Such a drama king!!
ReplyDeletememang pun
DeleteCan eat lah, dont worry! hahaha! Small kucing so cute.
ReplyDeleteDrama prince

hope so ;)
DeleteMamarazzi, sorry to say that, I don't think carrot goes well for CKT ler! Put bean sprout better ler!
ReplyDeleteI don't dare to be so adventurous in cooking, because my hubby and my children don't like weird combination one.
Yeah you need to put lots of Taugeh!!!!
DeleteTarak taugeh at home so use the next crunchy thing lo
DeleteAnyway, good try la! At least you can make very nice dumpling.
ReplyDeleteLOL
DeleteWah, you sure can whip up a plate of nice Char Kway Teow!! Here's dropping by to wish you a Happy Mother's Day! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThanks Shirley
DeleteWhy Small Kuching looking liddat!? :D
ReplyDeleteWishing Mummy ~ Happy Mother's Day!
Your CKT looks like the one selling in outside eateries. Not bad wor... I replaces the bean sprout with big onion cause I hate bean sprout so much. I also love to add more fish cakes and eggs. By the way, did Mamarazzi add egg and fried together?
ReplyDeletesure or not oh...LOL
DeleteThe Small Kuching expression in the last image is priceless! Cannot be that bad, right? At least 'A' for effort, right? :O
ReplyDeleteLOL...all lumpy
DeleteKrang Krang Krang what a nice CKT sound! Mamarazzi is full of vocabs to tickle our ribs!
ReplyDeleteI learn this secret from all the hawkers. You need to use very heavy iron wok with strong blowing flames before tossing your Koay Teow in circles. The perfect taste comes from the heat and O2 combined together plus the quality of Koay Teow has to be home made.
got big fire got heavy wok but the tossing part K.O.-ed
DeleteHome cooked CKT more healthy lor...
ReplyDeletemust try again then
