Mie Kepiting / Crab Meat Noodle

Crab Meat Noodle /  Mie Kepiting

Me and my family used to go to this area in Jakarta at Jalan Pangeran Jayakarta,

they sell Pontianak 'homefood'.

Pontianak is the capital city of West Kalimantan in Kalimantan Island

(some still called Kalimantan Island as Borneo).

This is my first attempt to try replicate the recipe,

not the same of course, because instead of just using soy sauce,

I added oyster sauce into it.

No regret, still tasted good! :)

Here is my recipe... with photos ... enjoy :)

This is the noodle I bought last week.

I never tried this noodle before, I guess it tasted more like rice noodle.

But I found it quite starchy after boiling them.

I used this crab meat for this dish.

It would look better with a real crab claws

but I can't be bothered preparing the crab from scratch :D

 This is the inside.  Just realized it is from Indonesia!

So I heat oil in a wok,

then fry these baby prawns with shell intact

until they are crispy, the sprinkle a pinch of salt,

fry for few minutes, set aside and drained.

I could eat this just like this, so crispy,,, yum!! 

Use the excess oil from frying the baby prawns,

put 1 clove of finely chopped garlic

and crab meat at the same time,

sautee briefly, add a pinch of salt and ground white pepper,

Set aside.

 In a serving bowl,

put 1/2 tsp oyster sauce,

1 - 2 tbsp of soy sauce,

1 tsp of vegetable oil,

1 tsp or more ready-to-use garlic chips,

boiled choy sum and bean sprouts separately,

drained then into a serving bowl.

 Add chopped red bird-eye chilis (optional),

and finely chopped spring onions.

 Add crab meat, crispy fried baby prawns,

and fish ball & fish cakes soup (I made them a day before).

 After mixing... being me, I added SAMBAL ABC EXTRA SPICY....YUUMMM!!

.... thanks for looking ...  (^_^)
