DIY: Pasta Back-To-Back 1 - Mamak Goreng Pasta

First part, let it me start with a local take on pasta. Referring to a step in mamak's Maggi Goreng. So, we can name Mamak Goreng Pasta. ~lol.

We will need pasta, any type will do. I manage to get vermicelli in my kitchen. It is a bit thinner than spaghetti. We also will use some green pepper, red chilly, shrimps, sausage slice and an egg.

Bring the water to boil. Add some salt and oil. The cook the pasta. It takes around 10-15 minutes. You can check by picking a strand and chew on it. If it is soft enough for you, then it is done.

Remove the pasta from the boiling water. Now I employ a technique from Chinese cooking -through the cold river...lol. Dump the red hot pasta into some cold water and drain it after a few seconds. Rationale is, even after removed from the hot water, the pasta is still cooking. If you leave it open and hot, the surface portion will get dry and cold, but the bottom will remain hot and over moist. This will actually prevent it and since we added oil when cooking it, the water will not washed away the oil and after we drain it, the pasta won't be too sticky.

Heat some oil and stir fried that chilly and pepper in low heat.

When the smell starting to come out, add in the sausage slice and stir fried it will it starting to turn brownish.

Then add in the shrimps, followed by the egg. Fire remain low, scramble the egg.
Before the egg fully cooked and harden, dump in the pasta. Wow...this is for two servings. Stir fried for a while. You may turn the fire higher.

Now introduce you the secret of mamak's maggi goreng...the add in the powdered soup! Notice almost all mamak is using Curry flavor Maggi? That's why la. For this dish, I use Mamme's Curry soup powder. Reason, I only manage to find this one in the kitchen. And because I found this one, I decided to cook this dish.

Since the pasta is enough for two serving, then it is all save to pour in the whole packet. And you can save on the soy sauce and salt.

Mixed or stir the pasta quickly and thoroughly; until the color is even. Let is fried for a few seconds. Then we can serve.

This is for one serving. Hmm shouldn't have use a transparent dish. A white one can enhance the over color a bit. Taste ok, but less heat. Maybe the pasta too much for the little pan. Should get a wok slightly bigger than that. Jusco like got promotion ler.....
