    There are generally two versions of this "Mee Siam" (literally "noodles in Siamese style", the former name for Thailand). But it's a Malaysian-Singaporean interpretation of the sweet, sour, spicy flavours that are loved by all. It all depends on the cook's inclination and budget, so it goes something like this:
    1) The simpler version is similar to this video known as "Mee Siam Kering" or "dry Siamese noodles". Optional add-ins include dried shrimp, firm tofu and chives - those are "musts" for some locals here. Kalamansi lime to squeeze over, plus extra shredded red chilli strips, chive pieces, shredded egg omelette, fried shallots and shredded cucumber to garnish the whole dish, so it's not only tasty, but very colourful and appetising. This is the easiest for a "pot luck" meal, as it's dry and easy to transport, also popular for picnics!
    2) A more fancy version called "Mee Siam Berkuah" or "Siamese noodles with gravy". The rice vermicelli is stir-fried more simply with a basic spice paste (e.g. blended chilli, shallots, garlic), then garnished with the above. The "gravy" is made with the "tauco" (salted soy beans), tamarind extract, coconut milk and a spicy "rempah" or chilli base. This gravy is quite well seasoned, but is quite liquid, so some diners love to flood their noodle dish, making this half stir-fried noodles and half soup. Some just take a little gravy to moisten their noodles to taste. The garnishes are prepared, but left to each diner to garnish their own dishes, so this is very popular for buffets and "help-yourself" type meals for parties and festive occasions.
    2a) An even more fancy-pants version may include a separate "rempah" (Malay for spice paste) made specifically for the prawns. This will include all the spice ingredients mentioned by Marion in the recipe made into a spicy fried sambal with large prawns for a deluxe presentation. The prawn shells and heads would be reserved to be briefly fried in a little oil, then boiled with water to make a seafood stock that's used to enrich the gravy. The noodles would be aromatic from being stir-fried till fluffy, served with the coconut and seafood gravy spiked with tamarind, to be eaten with the spicy prawn sambal. So you have three principal parts of different textures, seasoning & flavouring to mix and match, plus all the garnishes laid out beautifully... definitely a labour of love!

      What’s the story behind the wet version?

    • @LemLTay
      @LemLTay 2 года назад +2

      As far as I can tell, it's a sit-down down version that lets the diner control how moist they want their noodles to be, and make it as-you-like-it kind of thing. All the accompaniments were brought to the table, so you made up the dish as you fancied.
      The Nyonya (Straits Chinese ladies) of olden days did not work outside of the home, so to pass their time, invented ways of amusing themselves and their menfolk. I still hear the phrase used today of "chiak chit toh" literally meaning "eating for fun and play", which is not far from the idea of "amuse bouche". Many of the leading families' menfolk were from moneyed merchant classes, so there was money to spend. Thus, in their households, cooking, along with arts & crafts such as beading, embroidery & fine dressmaking were the skills the ladies cultivated. It is said that a young girl back then who did not acquaint and apply herself to the fine art of cooking would find her marriage prospects severely hampered (!).
      The Peranakan (collective name for the men and women from the Straits Chinese group) were relatively wealthy and were renowned for their love of entertaining, so it was also a matter of family pride and reputation that the best versions of the dishes were concocted and served to "keep up the good name" of the family.
      [ Please bear in mind the foregoing is viewed through the lens of my family upbringing through my maternal great-aunt's household, who were childminding us when we were young. Hers was a relatively well to do family, who had a large household, retainers and a grand house filled with antiques and fine furniture. But as the years passed, it more or less became a faded glory as fortunes rose and fell.]

    If you're afraid of overcooking the rice vermicelli noodles (which I am btw since those things can taste disgusting when overcooked), you can just soak the noodles in room temp water for at least 10 mins or so if you have the time and they'll be just soft enough to handle for frying. this is especially helpful if you're making a large serving since it is VERY easy to overcook your noodles when cooking large batches.

My all time favourite is her take on La Jiang Mian (I make it every week), and the Thai Glass Noodle Stir Fry and Hoisin Beef Noodles are made every 1-2 weeks as well. All are WONDERFUL, fast and easy but bursting with flavour. I can’t stop making them. This looks like another banger. Hasn’t God been good to us? He has given us Marion.

    I love your version of mee siam. As you can see some of the ingredients are pretty much thai-ish. I guess that's our attempt on cooking thai noodles (or perhaps fusion?) hence the name, siam. My family like it spicier so we use spicy dried chillies. To ensure you dont have mushy sad vermicelli, just soak it for a while in tap water while you prepare other ingredients

    For Malaysian usually the word ‘Mee’ refers to yellow noodle and for rice vermicelli we often refer it as ‘Bihun’ or ‘Meehon’. Like yellow noodle, you can actually prepare rice vermicelli in many ways, you can prepare similarly like what Marion does here (although I would use dried chilli paste instead of fresh chillies) and you can also have Tomyam flavoured version (add in galangal, lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves) or a mild version refers to as Bihun Singapore (no chilli paste, basically just onions, garlics, white peppers with some veggies).

      Happy hunting! Instead of spring onion, look for flat-stemmed green onions; I know them as kul chives & they might also be called Chinese chives. Another traditional garnish is firm tofu cut into tiny squares and fried til golden. Also, skip the chicken and find some good quality fish cake & slice it thinly. And some extra sambal on the side would be good & even better if fried w some sugar until darker and less liquid. If you like curries, try the wet version of mee siam. The sweet spicy nutty balance is so special. Enjoy!!
