Whenever Kimchi has a-last-minute get-together-with-friends or surprise birthdays function at school, she will always have her make-believe-spot-light eyes plus her wide smile asking 'mama, can you buy chicken for us at supa-save?'
As usual, her freaking mama will do some mental calculations ..
> 1 whole roasted chicken costs $5.90 = cut into 10 pcs
> 1 class has about 40 students = 4 whole chickens X 10 pcs = 40 pcs = $23.60
> if 40 students/functions X B$23.60 = $944.00 per year!!! CQ can go bankrupt ehhh ..
Do you think it's enough for a teenager to eat a piece of chicken plus other tidbits? hmmm
So Kimchi's mama decided to fry noodles the Lion City style ..
> yellow mee@ per pkt (for 5 students) costs $0.90 X 8 pkts = B$5.60
> sawi aka chye sim (is it hehe) per pkt $1.00 X 3 pkts = $3.00
> big onion/garlic/calamansi/chili powder/eggs = $5.00
> 1 small bottle of sweet black sauce = $1.20
> 2 large bottles of tomato sauce = $2.40
> Grand Total = $17.20 X 40 functions = $688.00 per year and each student gets to enjoy a plate of fried noodles and of course CQ saves $256.00!! Alamak! cooking oil not added yet? errr ..never mind lahh - sedekah (charity) hihihi
Well, if you are a parent and still has school-going children, everything counts when comes to $$$ ..right? So every parent must think smart. It is NOT about stingy but economy before you become eco-no-money hehehe...
Anyway, CQ will share with all CQ's readers how to fry noodles mamak-less hahaha...read on!
Ingredients:
2 pkts of yellow noodles
1 pkt sawi - cut and washed
2 medium size onions - chopped
5 cloves garlic - chopped
2 tsps chilli powder
4 eggs
8 calamansi - cut into halves and seeded
4 tbsps sweet black sauce
1 bottle of tomato sauce
1 tsp salt
How you fry:
Heat enough oil in large frying pan. Stir fry the onions and garlic till fragrant. Add in the chilli powder and fry for few seconds before add salt. Then add eggs and fry well.
Two minutes later, put in yellow noodles and sawi. Fry well before add in the sauces. Make sure fry well enough on slow fire; then you squeeze the calamansi juice. Fry well and serve.
Tip:
If you want to have the mamak-style effects - just add wedged roasted potatoes, leftover (if any) or cooked chicken and cut tomatoes.
p.s. pkt = packet :)
