Simple Soup Kueh Teow (Kueh Teow Thng)

Someone (me) can’t live without supper. Supper has been a norm since college and a night without supper is like sleeping with my favorite pillow. Anyways, since Hubs decided on a late night exercise regime (last night), so I decided on Soup Kueh Teow (since I have nothing better to do).


Simple Soup Kueh Teow (Kueh Teow Thng)
Serving for 2

 Ingredients:
1 pack kueh teow

6-10 medium-sized shrimp, shelled
1 teaspoon fish sauce or to taste
1 teaspoon sesame oil
3 dashes white pepper powder
Salt to taste

Toppings:
Garlic oil

Method:
Make the garlic oil by stir-frying some minced garlic with oil. Put aside.

Heat up a pot of boiling water and blanch kueh teow until they are cooked. Drain and set aside.

To prepare the soup, stir-frying some minced garlic with oil, add water.

Bring water to boil in a pot. Add the minced pork, fish balls, and shrimp. Stir for a while.

Boil for 1-2 minutes or until the ingredients are cooked. Add the fish sauce, sesame oil, salt and white pepper powder. Turn off the heat.

Divide the rice noodles into two serving bowls. Add the broth, garlic oil, and chopped scallion. Serve immediately.
