Taro and rice vermicelli noodle soup

Taro and rice vermicelli noodle soup

This morning i was tried to search this recipe in my blog list, i seen in a Chinese blog before but i couldn't recall which blog. Bakeling was laughing at me while I msn with her. She said who asked you to list so many blogs in the blog list, hahaha..Anyway, i tried to recall the recipe and create this noodle soup and serve for dinner tonight! This is quite an old fashion of noodle soup, last time our Ah Mah (grandmother) like to cook this noodle soup. Anyway, this noodle soup was yummy!



Taro and rice vermicelli noodle soup



I serve this noodle with a new type of veggi, it was strongly recommended by veggie store owner. The name of this veggi is call Green Dragon leaf, it taste quite similar to leek and it was good. You may replaced with spring onion or coriander leaves..

I have tried Green Dragon leaf as a dish in restaurant, never knew it could be a side dish with mee hoon! Thanks for sharing:)

Amelia said...

Sonia, I like mee hoon soup, yours looks very delicious. Nice presentation.

P/s I'd put up the piping of butter cream rosette for you. Hope you'll like it.

what a traditional dish... I remember eating this type of laksa beehoon soup with fish and yam slices when I was young. But then hawkers started to omit the yam. Thanks for refreshing the memory :)

WendyinKK said...

I just cooked green dragon vegetable tonight too. One bundle was not much, reduced to a small plate only.
I guess this is a Hokkien dish right? Cos my grandaunt never cooked this. Looks so delish!

Julie said...

Yummy platter!!!!!

My mom used to cook yam bee hoon for us when we were young. We grow our own wild yam. This is our favourite beehoon soup. Love it!

Wow, just the stock takes 3 hours to cook, must be a very delicious soup!I can imagine that this dish must be finished within minutes(but took you 1/2 day to prepare for)!
