Ingredients:

Spice Paste

120g Bean sprouts

2-3 red Chillies ( remove seeds, if you don't want it too spicy)

3 stalks Chinese chives, cut to 1 inch length

2 Eggs, lightly beaten and fried into omelette

Soy sauce or fish sauce to taste

5 Garlic

Green limes and cut red chillies when serve

3 tablespoon oil

250g Rice vermicelli

250g Rice vermicelli

5 Shallots

15 Shrimps, shelled and deveined (marinated with a dash of pepper and little soya sauce)

1 teaspoon Sugar

1 piece Tau kwa (firm tofu), cut to strips and fried till slightly golden

2 tablespoon Taucheo, aka fermented yellow bean sauce

2 tablespoon Taucheo, aka fermented yellow bean sauce

Equipment:

food processor

wok

Cooking instruction summary:

  1. Soak the vermicelli in water till soft for about 30 minutes (I used chilli brand), Drain and set aside.
  2. Using a food processor, grind the spice paste till fine and set aside.
  3. Heat wok with some oil and make the beaten eggs into an omelette. Fold and slice the omelette thinly. Set aside.
  4. Heat up the wok and add 3 tablespoons of oil. Once the oil is heated, fry the spice paste until aromatic and the oil separates. This ensures that the chillies are cooked through and you will not get that 'grassy' taste of raw chillies. Add shrimps, stir-frying until half done, then add the fried tofu pieces.
  5. Add the vermicelli and keep stirring until the spice paste has spread evenly. (you may add about half cup of water to it if you find the rice vermicelli is still quite dry when frying) Add sugar and salt to taste, if requred, followed by bean sprouts and chives. Continue to stir-fry until the vegetables are cooked. Taste and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt or sugar to taste. If the noodles taste bland, add a little soy sauce/fish sauce to taste.
  6. Garnish with shredded omelette, green lime and some red chillies on mee siam when serve.

Food Joke

Another version of The Good Wife Guide This article (believe it or not) is an actual extract from a Home Economics textbook printed in the early 1960’s. It is absolutely true and it was written in a serious manner – it was not written as a joke. So you women out there, please don’t blame me. In fact I for one am glad things have changed in the 21st century as much as they have! Challenge. If anyone wants to prepare, “The Good Husband Guide” as you think it might have been written in the 1960’s, then send it to me. Have dinner ready. Plan ahead even the night before, to have a delicious meal ready on time for his return from work. This is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Prepare yourself. Take 15minutes to rest so you will be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh looking. He has just been with a lot of work weary people. Be a little gay and a little more interesting for him. His boring day may need a lift and one of your duties is to provide it. Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives. Gather up schoolbooks, toys, papers etc and then run a dust cloth over the tables. During the colder months of the year you should prepare and light a fire for him to unwind by. After all, catering for his comfort will provide you immense personal satisfaction. Make the evening his. Never complain if he goes out to dinner or other places of entertainment without you. Instead, try to understand his world of strain and pressure and his very real need to be at home and relax. Try to make sure your home is a place of peace, order and tranquillity. Don’t complain if he’s late home for dinner or even stays out all night. Count this as minor compared to what he might have gone through that day. Make him comfortable. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair. Have a cool or warm drink ready for him. Arrange the pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soothing and pleasant voice. Remember, he is the master of the house and as such will always exercise his will with fairness and truthfulness. Once he has had a chance to have his evening meal, clear the dishes and wash up promptly. If your husband should offer to help decline his offers – he may feel obliged to repeat this offer and after a long working day he does not need the extra work. Encourage your husband to pursue his hobbies and interests and be supportive without seeming to encroach. If you have any little hobbies try not to bore him speaking of these, as women’s interests are often rather trivial compared to men’s. at the end of the evening tidy the home ready for the morning and again think ahead to his breakfast needs. Once you have both retired to the bedroom prepare yourself for bed as promptly as possible. Your tired husband does not want to queue for the bathroom, as he would have to do for his train. However, try to remember to look your best when going to bed. Try to achieve a look that is welcoming without being obvious. If you need to apply face cream or hair rollers wait until he is asleep as this can be shocking to a man last thing at night.
