How to make Malaysian Hokkien Mee at home | Marion's Kitchen

[@chunkitng7187]

Malaysian here, this recipe is a bit different from the ones we have in Malaysia. First, the dish is not that sweet. I believe we dont use kicap manis but rather normal thick chinese dark soya sauce. The dish should be savoury and not overly sweet. Adding kicap manis and also sugar makes the dish overly sweet in my opinion. As for pork croutons, we really just use lard aka deep fried pork fat, not really the part with the meat. but i guess it's fancier with the meat on. Lastly, just some tips on hokkien mee. I've seen some local chefs add fish sole powder to add umami flavour and also use pork stock for the dish and fry them over high charcoal heat.

Is there an alternative for pork croutons

[@andytan23]

MA MAN

Just to say there’s seems to be two kinds of dark soy sauce available. One is thin and liquidy, the other is thicker. Perhaps that’s why she mentions kecap manis... the idea of pork croutons definitely appeals more to me as I won’t go out of my way to buy skin to make lard...

[@simplyme3306]

@@hemjoo kecap manis is also thick but sweet as well, that's the Indonesian sweet sauce.

[@simplyme3306]

If this is KL Hokkien mee, I totally agree with you. KL Hokkien mee is one of my favourite food since young. It should be more savoury hardly any sweetness The pork croutons, at first I found it weird too, then perhaps I thought over in AUS they can't get just the pork fat for making lard like us chinese do? Yes the sole powder is one of the key ingredients too. Alternative would be ikan bilis powder.

[@colourrain1221]

Malaysian here! This looks so legit I’m totally trying this recipe

[@abcde7541]

My mom used to cook these pork croutons when I was little and we’d snack on them while waiting for her to finish cooking the main course. She doesn’t remove the pork skin though for more crunch. You could also add some cubed fried tofu, green chilis, and diced red onion. Mix together and some soy sauce with calamansi for dipping. We call it Tokwa’t baboy (tofu and pork) and best served with beer. 😋

[@adrianaadnan9958]

My ex's mom used to cook this when I was 13. It's wow! Mind blowingly good. But after that I tried the ones without pork at restaurants.

[@kcchoi88]

This "Hokkien Mee" version is actually native to KL as Hokkien Mee (noodle) versions in Penang and Singapore are totally different. Previously, the thick yellow noodles you referred to cannot be found outside of KL. Traditionally, regular cabbage, instead Napa cabbage is used and slices of pork liver is also added in. In KL, some of them may have choy sum and slices of fish cake or cuttlefish/squid (sotong) as well.

[@MaZEEZaM]

It would be basically impossible to buy pork liver in Australia. Good to know though.

[@kcchoi88]

@@MaZEEZaM You'll still have pork slices, prawns and squid :-)

[@adrianaadnan9958]

KL has the best food!

[@manvingill83]

I love how often you say "joyful" when you describe your food.

[@helena5061]

Yes!!! My mom is from Malaysia, I love surprising her with recipes from home. Thanks Marion!

[@stingygmn9754]

I remember eating this when I was kid and teenage. Lots of good places selling this in the KL area. The version using bee hoon (rice vermicelli) is drier but has a more springy texture. Whatever the ingredients and noodle type, the key to making a good version comes down to the sauce mixture, pork lard and the all important wokhei fried over high heat of charcoal fire. Thanks for reminding me of this joyful memory!

[@ThePoundcake75]

Of all of the KZbin channels I’ve stumbled across over the years, hands down without a doubt yours is my ULTIMATE FAVORITE OMG, I want to cook everything you make. 🏆♥️

[@profdrrameshkumarbiswas1337]

Malaysian here! Every chef (and every grandma) in Malaysia has a a twitch to the basic recipe, some using belachang shrimp paste, some scallions, some cuttlefish. I'm going to try Marion's!

[@JbbreadsBlogspot]

I'm not sure whether it's your choices of words or the tone of your voice that made the entire dish so delicious! I mean, I've been eating KL Hokkien Mee for the longest time and you've just bump it up 100x more delicious! I've been away for quite sometime and I've really missed this. Thank you Marion!

[@DanliciousFood]

Yummm!!! Can never have enough recipes that use pork belly, they are so versatile! Also, I absolutely LOVE noodles, another super delicious recipe, thank you for sharing this with us!

[@Blackspider611]

Love your pronunciation of 'kecap manis', literally means 'sweet sauce'.. Indonesians really love kecap manis..it's like a magic sauce; it's cheap and easy to find (well, in Indonesia at least haha), and it makes almost every food becomes more tasty.. kecap manis poured over a sunny side up egg, served on a bowl of steamed rice; it's already a perfect, simple dish.

[@valeriepark99]

Yess🙏🏻🙏🏻Hokkien mee is so tasty, I went to Malaysia once and ate it...It was so tasty. My grandpa (A malaysian chinese) makes this a few times but now he's not here so I don't know how to make it. Thanks for sharing this receipe🙏🏻😆

[@lavieestunsonge4541]

That looks absolutely amazing!! Thank you again, Marion!!

[@pawdaw]

My favourite! In KL this dish is sometimes made with bee hoon as well. Also common to serve it with a creamy sambal that contains lots of dried chili and belacan.

[@parmeiladhevi8602]

As a Malaysian I approve this dish. I just had this dish last night. To die for. 😋😋🤤🤤

[@SamaelRayniak]

I was in Chiang Mai and I had the most beautiful sun-dried crispy chilli pork, would love to see you recreate it so we can learn how to make it! It's hard to find it on menus!

Adrian At And T I know right! Now I’m drooling over her videos and when I make mine too!! 😂😂

[@foonlam7134]

We usually just use pure pork fat to render the fat and make crunchy pork lardons. Also the noodles shouldn't be tossed so much since they will break instead of staying nice and whole. Use chopsticks to stir instead of the tongs.

[@bernardlokman5442]

This is probably more similar to KL/Klang Hokkien Mee. Other regions like Penang has their own kind Hokkien Mee. My hometown in Sumatra has our own kind of Hokkien Mee and of course Singapore has its own Hokkien Mee.

[@carolannkeleher3036]

It is such a delight watching you cook. I have the perfect instructor for learning how to make these lovely dishes. Pure YUMMINESS!!!! Your technique is perfection and hearing sweet baby Henry in the background in one of your episodes was adorable.

How much chicken broth was added? It is omitted from the recipe online. I made this dish tonight and it is delicious. I put 2 tablespoons of chicken broth since it wasn’t stated in the recipe but it was added in the video. I didn’t use shrimp but ground pork and still made the pork croutons. Very very delicious. Thank you Marion.

[@gwentay1369]

Hi Marion, the dish looks amazing. Just a question, the recipe site says the serving is for 4 but the noodle quantity states 400g only, is that right? Or should it be 800g? Hope to hear from you, thank you!

Pork cooked 2 ways! You’re a legend Marion! 🙌🏻

[@riffmeisterkl]

Not really like the KL one, we don’t use kicap manis - instead it’s the thick caramel dark soy. Also need Choy sum (mustard greens), regular cabbage (not wombok). There’s also more sauce since the noodles are braised in stock.

[@MsMary-ec6lo]

This noodle dish visually reminds me of Mie Aceh, a popular Indonesian noodle that uses thick yellow noodles like here and it has a lot of spice in it's thick dark sauce. It's delicious. You should try it out!

[@HeavenlyBlueSkyward]

Do you have to boil or blanch the noodles first? Or do you pour it straight out of its packet?

[@kokraymond205]

Hokkien noodles are thick and if you just cook it like that it will not taste "nice" to the mouth. You need to braise it a few minutes in the sauce. The noodle will come out nice, juicy and full of flavour. The "sambal" that usually goes with it is also quite unique in that it is usually, not all of the stores do it, are cooked with oil that had been used to fry the prawn shells to extract it's unique prawn flavour. The oil come out red and flavourful and that is used to cook the sambal. The taste is unique and subtle.

[@Shinkevo]

As a Malaysian, I’m a little offended that you used ABC kecap manis. It’s normally cooking caramel. Kecap manis is primarily used in Indonesian cooking. Also green cabbage is used over wombok

[@vixtor9391]

In malaysia kicap manis is used a lot so you shouldn’t be offended by that.

[@Shinkevo]

vixtor don’t disagree but not for hokkien mee though

[@santosoeffendi2167]

[@nuttyprobe]

Hey Marion, I was looking at one of your older video's in which you use fresh kaffir lime leaves as a garnish. Unfortunately, I can only find the dried version. Is soaking the dried leaves a good alternative?

[@chophappy]

That looks so yummy! I wish I was eating that right now!

[@carollynnelee]

Beautiful rendition of our KL’s own pride and joy, Hokkien Mee. I wonder why you don’t cook with a chinese wok Marion especially with this dish where a good wide wok is elemental in stir frying the noodles. The noodles are fried in very hot fire ( traditionally over charcoal fire ) till they achieve a burnt-like but still wet flavour. We call it the “wok hei” flavour and is one not easily found or achieved in home kitchens. The pork croutons are deep fried and is the piece de resistance of the dish. The dish is not complete without the sambal belacan sauce and fresh minced garlic ( i know!) as condiments. I follow your videos and have cooked with them. Always beautifully presented.
