Ingredients for Mee Siam Kuah Azie Kitchen

This recipe provides a great starting point; feel free to adjust quantities based on your preferences and the number of servings.

• Noodles: Use fresh yellow noodles (mee kuning) for the best texture. About 250g should suffice for 2-3 servings.

• Shrimp: 150g of fresh or frozen shrimp, peeled and deveined.

• Tofu: A block of firm tofu, cubed. Adds a nice protein boost and complements the flavors beautifully.

• Eggs: 2-3 eggs, lightly beaten. These add richness and bind the dish together.

• Vegetables: A mix of vegetables adds color, texture and nutrients. Consider using:

  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced.
  • 2-3 shallots, finely chopped.
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, minced.
  • A handful of long beans, cut into 1-inch pieces.
  • A handful of bean sprouts.
  • Some chopped cili padi (bird's eye chili) for extra heat (optional).

• Gravy Ingredients (Kuah Mee Siam): This is where the magic happens!

  • 3 tablespoons of tamarind paste (asam keping), dissolved in 100ml of warm water. This provides the signature tangy flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons of sugar.
  • 1 tablespoon of fish sauce (ikan bilis).
  • 1 tablespoon of shrimp paste (belacan), finely pounded. A small amount goes a long way!
  • 1-2 tablespoons of cooking oil.
  • A little water to adjust consistency.

Step-by-Step Mee Siam Kuah Azie Kitchen Recipe

Let’s get cooking! Follow these easy-to-follow steps:

1. Prepare the Gravy: In a wok or large pan, heat the oil. Saute the shallots and garlic until fragrant. Add the pounded belacan and stir-fry briefly until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.

2. Add the Flavour: Pour in the dissolved tamarind juice, sugar, and fish sauce. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Adjust the seasoning to your liking. This is where you can fine-tune the sweetness and sourness.

3. Cook the Vegetables: Add the long beans and cook until slightly tender-crisp. Then, add the onion.

4. Add the Protein: Introduce the tofu and shrimp, stir and cook until they’re heated through and the shrimp is pink and opaque.

5. The Noodles: Gently add the cooked noodles and stir to coat them evenly in the flavorful gravy. Add a little water if necessary to achieve your desired consistency.

6. Finish it Off: Pour in the beaten eggs, stirring gently until they’re just cooked. Stir in the bean sprouts.

7. Serve Hot: Garnish with some extra chili padi (optional) and serve immediately.

Tips for the Perfect Mee Siam

• Tamarind Paste: The quality of your tamarind paste significantly impacts the flavour. Choose a good quality paste for the best results.
• Shrimp Paste (Belacan): Use sparingly, as a little goes a long way. Start with a small amount and add more to taste. If the smell is too strong, consider using less.
• Adjust Seasoning: Taste the gravy frequently and adjust the sweetness, sourness, and saltiness as needed.
• Fresh Ingredients: Using fresh ingredients always elevates the flavour profile.
