This is how kolo mee looks like before it is cooked..
Looks little right? Well after u boil it and fry them they look a lot...so please do not be greedy and buy a few packets back yeah
Please note that I do not really know how to cook fried kolo mee and what I did is to go to the net and search for it but no one has any post on fried kolo mee. They do however have post on fried noodle, fried bee hoon, fried kueh tiaw..so what I did is combine here and there and I get Fried Rojak Kolo Mee...but guess what my friends liked it..ha ha...
INGREDIENTS
- Kolo Mee - 1 packet
- Sausages - cut into pieces or you can use fish cakes or etc.
- Red onion - 5 to 6 balls- chopped finely
- Garlic - 3 to 4 cloves - chopped finely
- Fish Sauce Gravy - 1.5 tablespoons (estimated)
- Oyster Sauce - 3 tablespoons (estimated)
- Sugar - 3 or 4 tablespoons (estimated)
- Pepper - a few pinch
- Dark Soy Sauce - 1 tablespoons (estimated)
- 3 eggs.
Step 1 - Fry Sausages
- Put some oil in the wok and fry those cute small sausages - make sure they are fried and cooked properly. After they are nicely cooked, take them out from the wok
Step 2 - Eggy
- Break 3 eggs into a bowl. Break one egg first and smell it to make sure it is not spoilt before throwing it into the bowl later on yuck. What type of smell that indicate a rotten egg? Well It smells like fosforus sulfat with hydrochloric acid mixed together (ha ha if my chemistry is right)..Then put some pepper into the egg and mix them all up..
Ignore the sausage in the bowl. It dropped inside when I took the sausages out from the wok
- Pour the eggs into the wok and spread them all over the wok like making a thin pancake. Let it cook for a while then turn to the other side and then using your fryer, cut them into strips or smaller pieces. Take them out once they are cooked and set them aside together with the sausages
Step 3 - Dealing with Kolo Mee - A bit stressful here
- Boil some water in a pot enough to cook your kolo mee. Place the kolo mee into a stainless steel strainer
- When the water is boiling, place the strainer with the kolo mee into the hot boiling water. Using a loooong chopstick cos you do not want the heat of the water burn your finger or hand, stir the kolo mee so the water will cook the mee properly. Put it there for like 3 to 4 mins..Not too much later on the kolo mee become very soggy..double yuck
Do not worry if the water stop boiling after you put the strainer inside the pot. Just continue on
- While cooking the kolo mee in the pot, fill up a big plastic bowl with cold tap water. Take out the kolo mee from the hot pot and place it directly into the cold water. This is a very very important step to wash of any flour still stuck on the kolo mee..We do not like very starchy floury feeling when you eat the fried kolo mee...Wash it using chop stick or I like to use my hand - OUCH HOT HOT HOT...Then put the strainer with the kolo mee back into the hot pot again to cook it again but this time only for a shooort while like 10 seconds..Then take the kolo mee out and let it hung dry in the strainer..ha ha
Step 4 - Red Onion, garlic n saucesss
- With some hot oil in the wok, stir fry the chopped red onion and garlic. Make sure they are not burnt yeah. Once their aroma starts to come out you can
- Then pour in the oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish gravy, and sugar. Stir fry all the ingredients. Try it to see if it is too salty (the put a little bit more sugar) or too sweet (put a little bit more soy sauce or oyster sauce)
Yes It does look black and dark but is okie once you put the noodle in, it is not that bad..
Step 5 - Kolo Mee and the rest
- When the sauce starts to cook, pour the cooked kolo mee into the wok and then make sure the fire is BIG, fry it and mix the kolo mee with the sauce. Fry it Fry it Fry it..you need good hand muscles for this. (Please do bicep and tricep weight exercise before you do this frying stunt). If you go outside to those coffee shop and you see those uncle auntie frying noodles, you will notice they have big strong arms due to frying...as what nasi lemak 2.0 Namewee will say..WALAU EHHH.....So frrrryy iiiitttt..(This joke will only be understood by those who watched nasi lemak 2.0 and for those who did not get it Please go watch it....)
- Pour all the fried sausages and the egg into the wok and FRY IT SOME MORE
Question : How do you know fry till when?
Ans : Follow your heart..Listen to your heart...ha ha neh..To be honest, if the kolo mee got stuck to the wok is ok..you can scrap it and fry it some more..to be honest some burnt kolo mee is kinda YUMMY. For me I fry it till the kolo mee is mixed properly and has that frying smell...Do not burn it though...
DONE...
Easy right? Good Luck.....
