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
Experts have proved the existence of recipes way back into history, in truth as far as the early Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, mostly, these early cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel blissful. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few documents which described recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, entrees and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef recounts how the cooks of Roman times made use of a wide range of spices and herbs, including a few you will know such as basil, rue and parsley. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices like parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes led to a surge in recipe manuscripts, some of which still exist in private cookery archives. The introduction of television brings us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on this site. |
