April:
Noodles of Southeast Asia - Health Street Food of Malaysia & Thailand
|
 |
In the days of my childhood, the itinerant wanton mee vendor hit a bowl with a pair of wooden chopsticks, making a sound like "tok tok tok tok" to announce his arrival. Children, whose little hearts were cheered by the sound and warmed by the prospect of eating egg noodles, loved to call it tok tok mee. This popular noodle is served with tender pieces of barbeque pork naturally prepared without coloring and lots of Asian greens. This class teaches you the flavors of noodles … authentic just like the old days. |
