Indian Mee

We still could not finish the Roast Leg of Lamb even after eating it for 5 days on and off so I had to figure out what to do with the rest of them. Flipping through my collection of cookbooks, I decided to make this Indian Mee recipe on a Primarasa's Hidangan Asia – an Indian-inspired Chinese noodle dish. The recipe called for fresh thick yellow noodle but I had to substitute it with dry Chinese egg noodles instead. It was not the best decision because the noodles were a bit too thin... so if you want to try it out, I recommend you to use spaghetti noddle instead.


Ingredients:
1 lb of lamb meat, cubed
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
4 teaspoons black pepper
1 tablespoon ghee
5 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 half onion, sliced
1/2 package of fried yellow tofu, cut into 1-inch cubes
12 oz dry Chinese egg noodles
1/2 lb Choy Sum (Chinese vegetable)
4 green onions, cut into 1-inch sections
2 eggs, beaten with a little bit of water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup fried shallot
1/2 cup chopped parsley

Curry sauce:
2 tablespoons soy sauce
4 tablespoons tomato ketchup
1 teaspoon tumeric powder
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
3/4 teaspoon paprika powder
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon salt

Directions:

• Marinate the lamb meat with soy sauce, dark soy sauce and black pepper for 30 minutes or so.
• Boil the dry egg noodle for 4-5 minutes or according to the direction. Add in the Choy Sum in the last minute to quickly boil them.
  
• Heat up the ghee and 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a wok and stir fry the sliced onion until translucent.
• Add in the curry sauce and stir well until fragrant.
• Add in the lamb meat cubes and cook until they change color.
• Add in the cooked noodle, stir until all is mixed well while adding the tofu and green onions.
• Move the noodle mixture to the side of the wok, add in the rest of the vegetable oil in the center of the wok.
• When the oil is hot, pour in the beaten egg. Let it sit for awhile until the egg started to harden and then stir a little to scramble it.
• Move the noodle mixture back to the middle of the wok, add in the lemon juice, parsley and 1/2 cup of the fried shallots and mix well.
• Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle the rest of the fried shallots on top.
  

Ground Turkey and Potatoes in Masala Curry Sauce

I made this dish last night because it's simple to make and super tasty. I don't really know what to call it because I just made it using a couple of Shan Indian spice mix - Chana Masala and Achar Gosht Curry. I am sure you can make a similar dish with other Shan spice mix combination.


Ingredients:
1/2 lb of ground turkey
2 lb potatoes, peeled and cut into small cubes
2 tsp Shan Chana Masala Mix
3 tsp Shan Achar Gosht Curry Mix
3 green onions, chopped
small bunch of parsley, roughly chopped

Directions:

• In a large pan, stir fry the ground turkey with 2 tablespoons of olive oil on a medium high heat. Remove the meat aside when cooked.
• In the same pan, cook the potatoes with a quarter cup of water in a low medium heat for 10-15 minutes. Stir the potatoes occasionally so it will not stick on the bottom of the pan.
• Add in the Chana Masala and Achar Gosht Curry Mix and mix some more.
• Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper and sweet paprika.
• Stir in the green onions and parsley.
