Bought bee hoon instant noodles and fried combination balls on sale today. Then in my fridge there are some leftover mushroom stock and I got homegrown spring onion. Today, I am adding preserved olives leaves to my bee hoon noodles soup for more flavour.
Google: Bee hoon instant noodles are a type of noodle made from rice vermicelli that are packaged in an instant form. They are a popular and convenient food option, especially in Southeast Asian cuisine, and can be prepared quickly with boiling water and sometimes additional seasoning.” This instant noodle comes with packet of condiments: oil and chicken powder with dried vegetables.
Google: “Hakka fried combination balls, specifically referring to the product from the Australian brand Hakka, are a combination of fish balls, typically made with surimi (fish paste), water chestnuts, and shallots, that are fried to a golden brown. They are commonly used as an addition to stir-fries, noodle dishes, or enjoyed as a snack on their own.” It can be used for noodles soup too.
Google: “Chinese preserved olive vegetable, also known as “olive vegetable” or “olive relish” (橄榄菜), is a savory condiment made by preserving olives (Canarium album, a fruit resembling an olive) and mustard greens in oil, salt, and other seasonings. It’s a staple in Chinese cuisine, particularly in Chiu Chow cuisine, and is often used as a flavour enhancer in stir-fries, steamed dishes, or even as a topping for rice or noodles. The condiment is known for its umami flavour, a blend of salty, leafy, and slightly mushroomy notes with a touch of bitterness. It can be used as a condiment to enhance the flavour of various dishes, including: Toppings: It can be enjoyed on rice, noodles, or congee. Stir-fries: Stir-frying meat, tofu, or vegetables with olive vegetable adds a savory dimension. Steamed Dishes: Steamed fish or other dishes with olive vegetable are common.”
