Recipe by thecharlottemei

Ingredients

LG Wholegrain Noodles/ LG Wholegrain Mee Tai Bak
LG Taukwa
Oil
Onion
Ginger
Coriander stalks
Five Spice Powder
Chilli Bean Paste (Dou Ban Jiang)
Cinnamon Stick
Star Anise
Tomato Paste
Diced Tomatoes
Half Canned of Straw Mushrooms
Chicken Broth
Shabu Shabu Beef
A Touch of Sugar

Instructions

Drain the taukwa and lightly pat dry. Slice the taukwa across width-wise.
Heat oil in pot.
Add onions, ginger, coriander stalks and stir-fry until fragrant.
Add five spice powder and chilli bean paste and continue to stir-fry.
Add cinnamon stick and star anise to further enhance the flavour.
Add tomato paste and diced tomatoes, so this is going to form the bulk of broth and simmer on low heat for a while.
Add half a can of straw mushrooms and LG Taukwa—it's high in lean protein and very nutritious.
Then pour in the chicken broth, and simmer for a couple of minutes.
Add the shabu shabu beef—as it is thinly sliced, it separates out nicely and looks beautiful in this dish.
Add a touch of sugar to balance out the flavour and turn off the heat.
Blanch the LG Wholegrain Noodles for 10-20 seconds, after that put in a bowl.
Pour the sauce into the bowl and mix it with the noodles.
Start plating and enjoy!
