Homemade 'Loh See Fun' aka 'Lai Fun' (Rat Noodles)

This is my very first homemade 'Loh See Fun' (Rat Noodles). Some This was hand-rolled and steam it until cooked. You may serve them in soups or dry (kon loh) with frangrant oil, black thick soya sauce and cooked minced pork. I follow this recipies from this 'Blog' and thanks to her recipies. Although is not presentable but is nice. (mmm am I praising myself... he he he...)





Here is the ingredients:-
2 cups rice flour 2 tbsp tapioca starch
550 ml boiling water
1-2 tsp salt


Method
Line basket for steaming with a clean napkin, put in the dry rice flour, steam for about 1 hour.
Put the rice flour and tapioca starch in a bowl. Pour boiling water, add salt all at once onto the flour, stirring with the handle of a wooden spoon until the flour is moistened.

When cool enough, gather it together with the hand and ensure there are no pockets of dry flour by kneading lightly.

Repeat making noodles and when done, put the noodles to steam over fast boiling water for 5 - 8 minutes or until noodles are cooked and translucent. Remove from steamer, allow to cool slightly.

We call this 'Loh Shi Fun' or 'Silver Needle Noodles' or Tung Mein Fun' or in English it is called 'Rat Noodles'. Try it... You will enjoy it...

Happy Cookingz...
