ReplyDeleteHopefully you will like it. Yellow Noodle actually compliment the dish better but my husband prefer bean noodle as he dont really like sweet stuff. You can also increase the amount of Shao Hsing Wine to have stronger aroma and sweeter taste in the soup :)
ReplyDeleteMy gosh! It looks so delicious.
ReplyDeleteBtw, If i don't want to use wine, what is a good substitute?
@Tara Ooi, you can totally eliminate the wine. Add Sesame oil instead to get the aroma (a tbsp at a time until you reach the taste and saltiness that you like). Without the wine is still delicious. If you dont want it to be too oily, replace the oil with sesame oil to stir fry your ingredients. I added the wine because it can keep my body warm during winter.
