PINOY MAMI NOODLES


Mami-Style Miki:
2 small chicken breasts
2 litres chicken
and
vegetable stock
1 small cabbage
3 medium carrots
1 large stalk celery
1 large onion
250 g Miki noodles
3 pcs. cloves
2 laurel leaves (bay leaf)
1 tbsp. oregano
salt to taste


Toppings and condiments:




  • 3 hard-boiled eggs, sliced into 6 sections each


  • 3 heads crushed fried garlic (approx)


  • 2 stalks spring onion, thinly sliced or chopped


  • calamansi slices


  • ground black pepper


  • fish sauce



Mami Cooking Instructions:



Cooking will be a bit faster if you have chicken or vegetable stock but it is not necessary. Even it is available, the chicken breasts would still have to be parboiled and if it is not, then the water used to boil the chicken can be used as stock.

  • Chop one carrot and a quarter of the cabbage.


  • Julienne the rest of the carrots and thinly slice the cabbage.


  • In a pot, cover chicken in stock or plain water.


  • Season with half a teaspoon of salt, whole peppercorns, 3 cloves, laurel and oregano.


  • Add chopped carrots and cabbage. Let it boil till chicken is tender.


  • Take out chicken so as not to overcook.


  • Debone and return bones to the stock.


  • Keep it on a low simmer till serving time.


  • In a separate pot, boil around a litre of water.


  • Drop the fresh noodles and let it come to a rolling boil.


  • Take out the noodles as soon as tender but still with some resistance or al dente.


  • Wash the noodles in cold or tap water. Drain.


  • In the same pot used to cook the noodles, pour in one or two servings worth of the chicken and vegetable broth, half a cup of the julienned carrots and thinly sliced cabbage.


  • Boil for 2-3 minutes then add the noodles and pieces of chicken. Pour into bowls as soon as it boils.


  • Garnish with the toppings and season with the condiments as desired.

    Instant Yeast vs. Dry Yeast

    Instant yeast, which is also known as rapid rise yeast or bread machine yeast, has become the type of yeast I always use. Why? It makes bread baking easier and the results are just as good as with active dry yeast.
    With instant yeast, you skip the step of dissolving the yeast in warm water. It is more finely ground than active dry yeast and therefore absorbs moisture much faster. As the name implies, instant yeast also works more quickly than its counterpart.
    Another difference is that when using instant yeast with gluten bread, only one rise time is needed and the dough is not punched down. That’s not significant to us gluten-free bread bakers because our dough only requires one rise time anyway.
    If you are following a recipe that calls for active dry yeast, use about 25% less of instant yeast. Mix the yeast in with the dry ingredients and combine the wet and dry ingredients according to the instructions.
    Bread machine yeast is easily found at grocery stores. I buy vacuum packed instant yeast from BJ’s wholesale club. SAF Instant Yeast is one brand I have used. Once I open the pack, I put some into a small container I keep in the refrigerator and the rest of the package I close, put it in a zip lock bag, and store it in the freezer.
    You’ll notice that my recipes use instant yeast. If you don’t have instant, you will have to dissolve the yeast in the warm liquid. You may also want to increase the amount of yeast a little. If you haven’t given instant yeast a try yet, I hope you will soon. I think it will quickly become your preferred type of yeast.
