Mian fen guo（面粉粿）is a requisite chinese staple food that is basically made from flour along with other complements such as eggs, water, salt and oil.
It is actually processed from the same ingredients of 'ban mian' (板面）or flat noodle except they differ in shapes which Mian fen guo is a flat piece of iregular shape noodle. I was equivocal which is the predecessor for one. :P
Make a well in the center of flour.
Add in egg.
Add in oil and water. Mix all the ingredients till it form a nice smooth dough.
Continue to knead for 15-20mins for gluten development.
Grease some oil on the surface of the dough if you intend to place it in the fridge to prevent the surface from desiccating.
Using your bare hand, take a small piece of dough and stretch as long as you can and release it into a wok of boiling water.
When the dough float on the water, it manifested that the dough is cooked.
Add in some minced meat that augmented tang to it, relished with scallion, fried shallots and seasoning. Doesn't it look like korean type of 'zha jiang lamen'? :)
My brothers love nuggets and I added in!
All right, I'm digressing to unrelated stuff. Since 2 years ago, there had been a frenzy and rave for Panasonic Lumix LX3.
I'd stumbled across Xiaxue's blog on an entry for LX3, and Oh Gosh! I was astounded and enraptured by the quality of the photos taken.
The semi-pro camera took vivid coloured pictures and what's more, it has a ultra wide angle len which is a WIN WIN!
The con is the zoom range that is quite limited and macro photos may not be well taken.
What more can you ask for when it is so compact and almost a DSLR quality?
In fact, talking about DSLR, i'm avid for Panasonic GF1.
From its appearance, it strikes an immense difference from other DSLR cam which looks hefty and sturdy.
Irrefutably, it was the smallest and most compact DSLR cam!
It comes with the attractive red colour, super gorgeous!
However, it costs a wholly S$1499 which is far too exuberant.
It was not a whim that I was so ardent and 'so-going' to buy another cam. My canon IXUS80IS really 'CMI' on photos without flash and it processes blur photo which I had to retake copious of times to attain a slightly better one. * VEX *
My verdict: I'll purchase GF1 when I strike lottery tomorrow :P
(O.S: Day-dreaming!)
