11 oz chinese noodles (mie)
11 oz pork, minced
7 oz sausages
2 oz shrimp, peeled cooked
2 oz ham
1 onion
2 garlic clove
4 oz bean sprouts
4 oz snow peas
4 oz endive
1 celery, bunch
1 chives, fresh
1 oil
1 tsp ginger, ground
1 salt
3/4 tsp pepper, white
1 tbsp ketjap manis
1 lemon, (opt)
Directions
Cook the noodles according to the directions on the pack. Cut the
onions and garlic into fine pieces. Make little balls of the minced
pork and fry this together with the sausages in a wok or wide frying
pan. Then add the cooked noodles and stir-fry. Now add all the
vegetables, soy sauce, shrimp, ham, and spices, add salt and pepper
to taste ans stir-fry till it is thoroughly hot. Serve on a plate.
Add soy sauce, Sambal Oelek, or Sambal Manis to taste. Sambal Manis
(dark hot condiment) is used more with these two than the soy based
pork ones.

The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of `recipes` way back into the far past, in fact as far as early Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these old records were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which show the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel exhilarated. Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some documents detailing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into appetizers, main meal and dessert, a very modern way of dining. He also informs us how the Roman chefs used a good variety of spices, including a few you will know such as basil, rue and parsley. During the following few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy houses competed to offer the best banquets, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipes increased in prestige. Even so, it was during the 19th century that fine cookery and cookery books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The arrival of television gave us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this web site. |
