Mummy tried making ban mien today (not mee hoon kway). BUT she didnt need to make the noodles as she found a supermarket opposite my school which sells it. Phew~ so all she need is to fry the shallots, the ikan billis and make the stock.. but but but... she failed! The ikan billis are all burnt and so are the shallots. somemore the shallots are not at all crispy.. She spent a LONG time in the kitchen though she is making only these few things! Imagine if she needs to make the mee hoon kway also? OMG...
Anyway daddy says the noodle taste just like japanese udon.. so somehow this ban mien is a total failure though it taste ok, it is just too far from those ban mien in sg.. so.. no pt to post up the recipe also anyway lol

For crisp shallots, after you slice the shallots thinly, soak them in salt water for awhile (about 15min will do), then air-dry before frying them. :)
my ban mien looks so messy! lol.
my shallots are totally not crispy... can i just use normal onions? just shallow fry will do?
must use shallots. onions wun be crispy, no matter how u fry them.
Try to have enuff oil to cover the shallots...
