Yong Tau Foo Lana Style

(pics are not mine)

Suka Yong Tau Foo? My kids do, a bit too much, I guess. Theirs is the soup kind. Clear soup, that is. My style is very simple (My cooking is always simple, sebab.. sebenarnya I dont really know how to cook. Hehe) 


Here's how;


Soup
Raw chicken bones - 1/4 bird (medium size)
Water - 1 1/2 liter or depends on how much soup you want
Garlic - 2 (Ketuk je)
Ginger - 1 inch (Ketuk juga)
Sup bunjut adabi


Some fish balls, prawn cakes or balls, crabstiks (I bought mine in Giant, banyak choice).


Sos
Dried cili - 10
Garlic - 1
Sesame oil - 1 table spoon
Water - just a bit
Salt to taste


Blend the above ingredients together. 


Boil water, add in chicken, garlic, ginger, sup bunjut adabi. Let it boil for a bit then remove everything else in the pot, leaving just the clear soup. 
I'd dip in all the fish, prawn balls or cakes in the pot of soup for a while, then scoop them into serving bowls and pour the soup together. Siap dah.. The sos is just to add flavour.


My parents love Yong Tau Foo too but with the actual gravy. Here's the recipe I tried using one I found here Resipi Kuah Yong Tau Foo.

Gula (kalau kurang manis)

3 cm belacan

300 ml air

1 sudu besar minyak (minyak bijan) - lagi wangi kuah ni nanti.

1 sudu besar otak udang (this one not from original recipe)

  

Cara-caranya 

1. Masukkan minyak dalam kuali. Goreng cili kering sehingga garing dengan api yang kecil.

2. Setelah garing, angkat dan blend cili kering dgn sedikit air.

3. Panaskan air bersama gula melaka. Masukkan cili yang telah dikisar tadi, otak udang dan juga belacan.

4. Setelah mendidih, masukkan bancuhan tepung jagung untuk memekatkan kuah.

5. Masukkan garam dan gula (jika gula melaka kurang manis).

For those yang tak suka pedas, sila kurangkan cili keringnya?


Selamat mencuba and do let me know the outcome, ya?
