Do you at times feel hungry again after you have had dinner? Well, I do. Luckily, I have some leftovers of green bean carrot minced pork from my dinner. Also, I have 10 leftover fried crispy drumettes that I made a few days ago. So, I decided to add them to my bee hoon instant noodle soup for my supper.
“Green beans are a nutritious vegetable high in fiber, protein, vitamins A, C, and K, and minerals like folate and potassium. They lower cholesterol, aid weight maintenance, support gut health, boost the immune system, promote bone health, help regulate blood sugar, and provide antioxidants. Their fiber content benefits digestive.”
“Minced pork, also known as ground pork, is versatile pork meat finely processed for cooking. It provides complete protein, essential B vitamins, and important minerals like iron, zinc, and selenium, which support energy, immune function, and overall health.”
I have written down the recipe for fried crispy drumettes below, so start with this first. I’m glad to have bee hoon noodle soup; it certainly warmed me up, and it’s colourful and delicious. Let’s cook!
Ingredients
Fried crispy drumettes
3 kg drumettes
1 Tsp black pepper
1/2 Tsp white pepper
1 Tsp garlic powder
2 Tsp salt
1 egg, depending on how much drumettes
4 Tbs cornstarch
2 Tbs plain flour
2 Tsp baking powder
oil (for frying)
Green bean carrot minced pork
250 g minced pork
2 Tbs oil
2-3 Tbs Shoa Xing Chinese cooking wine
1 Tbs light soy sauce
1/2 Tbs oyster sauce
1 Tbs minced garlic
1/2 Tbs corn flour
white pepper
a pinch of salt (OPT)
water
Vegetables
1 carrot, cut into small pieces
4 green beans, end stems removed and cut into bite size
Bee hoon instant noodle
1 packet of bee hoon
water
1/4 Tsp chicken powder stock (OPT)
Method
Fried crispy drumettes-6-7 hours in advance
Clean drumettes and pat dry with paper towels. Combine drumettes, black pepper, white pepper, garlic powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Mix everything until drumettes are well-coated. Marinade for 4 hours in the fridge.
Bring out drumettes to room temperature about 20 minutes. When it has come to room temperature, add egg, cornstarch, flour, baking powder and mix again until drumettes are coated. Next heat up a deep frying pan about 2/3 of the way up with oil. After marinating, there will be liquid in the bowl, be sure to mix them completely again. Drumettes should be well coated with a thin batter-like coating. If it still looks too watery, add a bit more cornstarch and flour.
Drop drumettes in gently small batches into the oil and deep: 1 piece at a time, from the batter (allowing any excess to drip back into the bowl) and carefully transfer to the oil. Fry drumettes until crispy and golden brown about 12-15 minutes (the inside should cook thoroughly and remains juicy). Using a slotted spoon lift up a piece of drumette cut a small slit to check if it’s cooked through for each batch.
Then spoon out fried drumettes in batches on a container lined with paper towels to soak up the excess oil. When it not oily anymore plate up onto serving plate. Set aside and keep warm.
Note: You can use wings, thigh fillets, or diced chicken breast as popcorns. You can add fish sauce instead of salt, sugar to balance the flavour. I prefer it to be simple. Use 1 large egg only; you may want more egg just add another small egg. This dependent on individual preferences.
Green bean carrot minced pork
Heat pan on medium heat add 2 Tbs oil. Once oil is hot, add garlic, fry until fragrant about 1 minute. Add minced pork, fry breaking up as you fry it. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce and pepper. Continue to toss around until it is browned and pork is cooked about 5 minutes.
Next add carrots and green beans cook for 5 minutes. Now add in about 1/4 c water and Shoa Xing, mixing well about 5 minutes. Next mix cornflour with 2 Tbs water in a cup until no lump. Then pour into minced pork and vegetables. Then gives a couple of stirs. Check the seasoning. If needed salt add in. Spoon onto serving bowl and set aside.
Bee hoon instant noodle
Put kettle on. Place a plate at the bottom of the bowl, open and empty the bee hoon packet and the condiments that come with it into the prepared bowl. Scatter 1/4 Tsp chicken powder stock over the bee hoon and condiments. When the water is boiled, pour enough hot boiling water to cover.
Place the plate with prepared bee hoon, condiments, chicken stock powder hot and boiling water into the microwave. Microwave on high for 5-7 minutes until cooked and softened. Carefully bring out from microwave. Spoon enough green bean carrot minced pork on to bee hoon soup. Stirs to mixed well. Then place 3 warm fried crispy drumettes into the cooked bee hoon, and green bean carrot minced pork. Serve with a cup of hot tea. Enjoy!!!
For me as I have leftover 10 fried crispy drumettes
Thawed my leftover fried crispy drumettes on the benchtop for 15-20 minutes. Bring out my air fryer. Preheat the air fryer for 3-5 minutes. Line my air fryer baking tray with foil and place the 10 drumettes into the prepared baking tray. Place into the air fryer, cook for about 10-12 minutes just to warmed up.
