Wat Tan Hor 滑蛋河

逸敏I-po has been sharing her favorite recipe blog with me and this particular one called Lily's Wai Sek Hong has a lot of recipes. There are a couple recipes that I would like to try but haven’t got time yet. However, there is one particular dish that I have been tempted to try but at the same time feeling intimidated. No, the recipe was not too complicated. You know, that is one of my favorite dish at home and I am just afraid that the result may not live up to my expectation.

I was chatting with 逸敏I-po this morning wondering what to have for dinner. When dinner time came, I went to Lili’s blog and found the recipe. The whole process began with soaking the dried “Hor-Fun”. I then figured out to substitute the shrimps/prawns and squid/calimary with pan fried tofu with soy sauce and vegetarian chicken strips. So I started cooking. First, I stir fried the “Hor-Fun” with oil, light soy sauce and black soy sauce. The wok that I have is a modified non stick pan (not actually a wok but shaped like one) and the stove in my apartment is an electric range so the “wok-hei” is not there. Still, the stir fried turned out pretty good.

Then is the sauce: water, some vegetable bouillon, vegetarian chicken strips, choi-sum and some flour to thicken the sauce. Finally, I added the pan friend tofu with soy sauce and two eggs and I had a pot of sauce. I also added some fresh grinded black peppers and salt to season the sauce and Walla! The sauce was ready.


I married them together and I think they looked pretty good together. Don’t you think? Yep, it sure looked like I may have invited some friend over for dinner but no I did not invite anyone over. Although I have to agree, it was a big bowl of wat-tan-hor. No, I did not finish all of them. Yes, I have a big appetite but… just too much for one person. The rest of them are in a plastic container chilling in my refrigerator. I will be eating it for the next few days. Did I mention they were delicious? I am very happy with the taste of the noodle. Yum-yum……my belly is still full after typing this message, haha. I am going to go sit down and read some magazines. Most important - thank you Lily for her wonderful recipes.
