PCC : Sarawak Kolo Mee

Finally, after several attempts fine tuning the recipe and method of cooking, Porky successfully created Sarawak Kolo Mee ! This dry noodle is unique to the state of Sarawak, particularly in Cat's City - Kuching. There are 3 portions that made up the dish - BBQ Pork, Minced Pork topping and the noodle. Additional ingredients such as prawns and leafy vegetable can be added to spice it up. Another important ingredient to add will be sweetened vinegar chilies.

Fish Sauce, Hoisin Sauce, MSG, Pepper, Sesame Oil, Palm Oil, Cooking Wine, Food Coloring (red), Oyster Sauce, Honey, Light Soya Sauce

first, marinate 150 grams of  pork with BBQ marinate sauce *recipe

after roasting for 30 mins - yummy ! on 20th minutes, glaze some honey

slice it in fine thin slices - there is your Char Siew ! 

! important note - keep the oil from roasting pan !

juicy red shallots

chop chop chop into fine slices

fry until its crispy - there you have it - Shallots Oil

Minced pork - marinated with light soya sauce, fish sauce - fry until tender, can add a little of water

 ! important note - keep the oil from porky fat !

Now, many people says you must use authentic Sarawak hand made noodle to make a real Kolo Mee - not necessary, here Porky uses dry Egg Noodle. The secret is how you cook it to maintain the consistency/elasticity of the noodle. With boiling water, cook the noodle for 1-2 mins, run it under cold tap water and re-cook again under medium heat until you get the right consistency. No duration for this final step, just taste it as you cook - do not overcook it. So its done when you like the consistency ! 

drain water, and quickly mix with BBQ Char Siew Oil, and also Shallots Oil - mix evenly with a sprinkle of salt, light soya sauce, fish sauce and MSG - sprinkle only - not too much

Tadaaaaa - Sarawak Kolo Mee !

Here in the Philippines, sun set much much earlier - as early as 6pm ! Early sunset makes you feel the night is longer, even with early sun rise the next day. Porky biological clock is not functioning properly because of this phenomenon - feeling restless, heart beating faster than normal. He think he is turning into a Bearwolf ! (pksh : werewolf)

It's 5 Nov 15 !

Cat slept early the night before and he's up as early as 0330 am on Thursday wee hours. Eyes as big as Digby, brain as active as Porky - ever scheming. It was a stressful day before, stressful week and nearly a complete stressful month now, soon it will be end of 2015 ! wow, bamazing. Commitment at work is unbelievably over the wall, long absurd hours spend in meetings, trying to figure a way out of all the unnecessary problems created by morons. According to Porky, morons are the opposite of minions. Sometime, it makes you think and rethink and overthink the purpose of our life in this world - does it really matters if one pushes so hard in life or it will suffice just taking a back seat in everything ? Well, Porky says - YOU .. go back to sleep now ! - ok lorrrr... follow his advice lorrr...
