Y0shimi 3rd Gear December 9, 2014 Share December 9, 2014 Had been bored over the weekend, so tried to cook lala bee hoon. Did not really count the exact amount of ingredients so based on agar-ation. But I am missing a taste which i cannot put a finger at.. Things I dumped in, chopped garlic shredded ginger spring onion chicken stock throw in lala to brew add pepper, hua tiao jiu, sesame oil after it boiled I throw in bee hoon. but there is something missing in there. The beehoon doesnt seems to be silky or rather oily and there is a missing taste.. I cant sleep sia !!!

Neutrino Supercharged December 9, 2014 Share December 9, 2014 (edited) We alway cook our own la la. So cheap just S$3/kg in wet market. Some type of La la S$6 /kg but this type much sweeter. We cook same way as TO and they are exceptional, don't know if we add anything else. Chopped flat leaf parsley and white wine instead of chicken stock gives it a similar taste to moules marinier we like so much when we go to France. But I also want to cook la la as buy in food center, i.e. with sambal. I've looked around NTUC and Sheng Shiong for a suitable ready made sambal to add when cooking but can't find anything. Anyone can suggest what to use??? I suppose it might be similar to that used when cooking Ikan Bakar?????

I soaked it in hot water to soften it. Should I let the stock stew overnight? I was thinking along the line of trying to cook it with prawn shell & fishbone... HAHAHA We alway cook our own la la.

I believe they mix the sambal with water and cornflour to give it the sticky texture. but portion wise I cant advice.

Nice to see how others cook. Those are the S$6/kg lala if I'm not mistaken. A few things on the cooking style. I wouldn't use so much oil myself or so much salt or so many eggs. Because she cooks so much la la they take a lot longer to cook. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Made me hungry so I'm off to lunch. msg is always a great taste maker.....hahaha! Dont use too much of it hor......thats why outside food taste good! I can't take MSG. Although many say it doesn't effect people it always gives me a sore head and nausea. My missus says that it's the 4 bottles of Tiger I drink but I think it's the MSG. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
