Chinese Egg Noodles (Philips Pasta Maker)

Chinese Egg Noodle Soup, noodles made in the Philips Pasta Maker

Not too long ago my husband purchased a Philips Pasta Maker for me. I wasn't sure how I would like the machine, originally I just wanted something to roll and cut noodles for Khao Piek Sen. Nothing fancy. I have been using this machine for all sorts of noodles, curry flavored, black pepper, Italian basil, etc. It's really easy to use and it's pretty fast. Ten to fifteen minutes a cycle. For regular pasta I use one cycle and my water is ready and boiling on the stove by the time it's done. I have made the Khao Piek Sen in this machine also, I'm pleased with the results. I did have to tweak my original recipe and got help from other pasta machine owners. That's a whole other post though.

Double Pan Fried Noodles or Mee Korb

 Chinese New Year comes early this year so I thought I would share a favorite noodle dish around here. Double Pan Fried noodles are an absolute favorite way to have noodles at our house. They have always been a childhood favorite of mine also. If you haven't had them, make sure you try them the next time you're out for Chinese food. Or make them at home.

You can use any vegetables or protein you like for this, just stir fry it all up and ladle over the noodles. YUM!

Here's the method for Double Pan Fried Noodles or Mee Korb, is what we call it.

Manic Monday- Double Pan Fried Noodles (Mee Korb)

Welcome to my first Wordless Wednesday here on GPAC. As you can see, it's not wordless. It's more of a "Repeat/Wordless Wednesday". I'm going to try to post some oldie but goodie recipes/posts from GPAC on Wednesday's. I'll take new pictures of some items if we happen to have it on our menu. I'll also post those pictures I find in my "not yet blogged" folders on my hard drive. Some will actually be wordless, I don't know how many though. I'm not even sure how many Wednesday's I'll be posting.

If you're blogging do you have certain days you post things? Meatless Mondays? Wordless Wednesday's? Do you find it easier to blog this way? More challenging? What about "cooking clubs" do you belong to any of those? Let me know about them!

Wong Gee Chinese Restaurant (Maryland/ Washington DC)

I am certain we would have never tried Wong Gee if it weren't for the fact that I was looking for a Lion Dance performance the week AFTER Chinese New Year to take the children to. It's in a strip mall, on a main street, but nothing that would make me turn my head for a second look. They serve Cantonese style Chinese food. The food is fantastic. They also have an Americanized menu. DH ordered chicken curry- it was OK. I ordered some FAN-TA-BU-LOUS dishes. They also serve Dim Sum. More on that later.

When we went for the Lion Dance the waitstaff was so nice and accommodating. They had our table ready for us when we got there (reservations aren't needed, but I made them).  Brought extra napkins and got our drink order right away. The restaurant was clean and so was the bathroom :-). They have fresh (live) seafood cooked to order also.

Birds Nest Crispy Noodles

Isn't this a cute dish for Spring or even Easter for something non traditional? The little quail eggs in a nest made from Chinese egg noodles. I made these egg nest noodles like my Mee Korb, or Chinese Double Pan Fried Noodles dish. This is still a family favorite here. For the Egg Noodles I used this recipe posted HERE, but you can also purchase fresh Chinese egg noddles for this.

Double Pan Fried Noodles or Mee Korb

My mother and I made Chow Mein (or Mee Korb) when the girls and I visited this summer. I never got a picture of the finished dish. The girl were ready to eat right away. And as with any dish made with my mom there are no measurements. But I have pictures. :-)

Fortune Cookies, Not a Chinese New Year Tradition

Can you believe that Chinese New Year falls on January 28th this year? Earlier and earlier every year! I have very fond memories of Chinese New Year from my childhood. The day, the foods, the traditions are special to me. But most memorable is my mom's part in it. She would clean the house and cook an amazing spread. Family would come visit. She would often take us out of school, if not pick us up early.

The Little Princess and her dinner.

Little Princess guarding her tea cup.

Once upon a time there was a sweet Little Princess who lived with her parents and two older sisters. The Little Princess loved her family and to play and dance. She was a happy little girl with a happy little life! 

One day the Little Princess' grandparents came to visit her family at the castle. Her grandparents brought the family some plums that were the Little Princess' favorite! The Little Princess got to go out to eat a lot when her grandparents visited. She loved eating out. Some of her favorite things to eat and drink were hot tea, double pan fried noodles, Pho and Miso soup.

This is my food

One day, when The Little Princess went out for a meal with her family. Everyone was having a wonderful time talking and eating.  Then of the servers came and took the Little Princess's plate to the kitchen. The Little Princess was so sad! She looked at her parents with a worried look on her face and pointed to where her plate had gone. She wasn't done eating her food yet! So, the King and Queen got her another plate of food and the princess finished eating.

This is my food, and I'm watching you until you leave.
