Rice drops noodle with pork minced and vegetables

Rice drops pork minced and vegetables noodles.jpg

I am glad to have found this rice drop noodle. My grandma would call it bee tai bak. We grew up calling it rat tail noodle as it’s short like rat tail. It’s not real rat tail. Grandma always make it dry with marinated minced pork and spring onion.

In Malaysia, Penang this rice drop noodle soup can be served in a little variation, using different types of ingredients. To me this is a great recipe as a quick lunch, especially if don’t have much time to cook. It’s delicious, colourful, hearty, filling, and enjoyable to eat with memoirs of Grandma.

Today it’s a dry version and in my creation through trial and error. You can pack it for lunch, just warm up in microwave. Let’s cook!!!
