280520094601

This is just a simple dish suitable for breakfast or maybe small gathering.
I guess the shrimp will make the taste sweeter and the egg is just complement the mamak style taste. I prefer to use the small red onions rather than using a big onions, plus i use ‘batu lesung’ instead of blender to all of the ingredients, so you can get the slightly chunky small onions which gonna make the ingredients tastier.

Ingredients:
1 packet of Yellow Mee
2-3 tbs of oil
7-8 cloves of Rose Onions / Small Onions (pounded)
3-4 cloves of Garlic (pounded)
2-3 tbs of chili paste
3 tbs of dark soy sauce
3 tbs of light soy sauce
2 tbs of tomato sauce
1-2 tbs of lea and perrins sauce
12- fresh shrimps
1 eggs

Method:
- Heated up your wok, then pour the oil
- Stir in pounded onions & garlic & chili paste, just stir for 2-3 mins
- Put the dark soy sauce, lite soy sauce, tomato sauce and lea and perrins sauce, stir for 1 mins
- Put the shrimps, cover with wok and just flip the shrimps so that it will cook evenly
- Stir in the eggs, cover with wok cover for a while , then stir so that the eggs mashed up
