Tiger Mike's Fried Mee Hoon with Tom Yam Sauce

Brudder,

The mother of Sari's boyfriend taught me this recipe. Its quick and superb with cold beers. Am not quantifying the ingredients. You have to improvise using your taste-buds. Agak-agak la!!

1. Use Thai mee hoon. Superior to Malaysian-made mee hoon.
2. Use Thai Tom Yam Instant Sour Shrimp Paste (Peace Brand) imported from Thailand by Chiap Heng Ching Sdn Bhd of Penang Island or buy the sauce made by Mae Pranom of Thailand.

Chop very finely the following:
bunga kantan,
serai,
coriander roots,
shallots,
green cili padi,
udang kering,
daun kaduk (optional),
zest of lime,
daun limau perut,
Thai fish sauce and crushed ground nuts.

Mix everything thoroughly with the mee hoon, and press lime juice into the mixture. Spread chopped coriander leaves on it and serve. I don't use cili padi but Mae Pranom shrimp flavoured crushed cili - careful, velly hot!!
