- This dish originates in Thailand, hence, the name Mee Siam, however, it is pronounced "Mee Seeyam". It is one of the local favorites in Singapore.
- Cooking Time: 25 min
- Basic Preparation of Ingredients: Boil a large kettle of water and scald vermi- celli for 10 min, longer if necessary to soften till strands are pliable and soft to the touch.
- Wash and remove the root ends of the beansprouts. Cut chives into 4 cm lengths. Wash and drain. Wash and peel prawns.
- Sambal: Heat 5 Tbsp. oil and fry pounded dry prawns for 3 min.
- Add in all remaining rempah ingredients except sugar and salt and fry till oil seeps out again. Add in sugar and salt and stir once. Remove about half the amount of rempah and put aside.
- In remaining rempah, add in sliced onion and fry for 2 min. Add in prawns and tamarind liquid and simmer for five min. Remove and set aside.
- How to Fry Vermicelli: Putting all but 3 Tbsp. of the reserved rempah in a wok or possibly large frying pan, fry vermicelli and bean- sprouts for 8-10 min, stirring all the time till cooked. Moisten occasionally with tamarind liquid from the gravy allow- ance if vermicelli gets dry during frying. Add in about 3 Tbsp. of fried tofu pcs and half the chives to this fried vermicelli. Dish up and arrange on a large plate with sliced hardboiled Large eggs, remaining chives and remaining soybean pcs for garnish.
