Fried Saimin Recipes

FRIED SAIMIN

Steps:

• First step is to prepare all the topping ingredients. Slice the Spam and kamaboko (aim for the size of a fat matchstick). Peel and julienne the carrot. Beat the egg, scramble the egg, and then sliced thinly. Chop the green onion. Set all this on the side.
• Next, prepare the noodles. Bring water to a boil in a small pot. Drop in the frozen noodle and cook for 30 seconds. Remove and drain immediately. Rinse with cool water (this stops the noodles from further cooking and also removes excess starch).
• Now we start cooking! Put a little oil in a saucepan, and pan fry the Spam over medium heat. Pan fry for 2-3 minutes (until it starts to brown a bit). Then add the kamaboko and carrots. Pan fry another 2 minutes and then pour everything out into a bowl.
• Add a bit more oil to the empty saucepan, and then add in the saimin noodles. Stir fry for 2 minutes (longer for more crisp noodles, less for softer noodles). Add in half the seasoning packet and mix well so that the seasoning is evenly distributed.
• Add the Spam/kamaboko/carrots back in the pack. Stir fry everything together and add in the remaining half of the seasoning packet and a teaspoon of soy sauce. Sitr fry another minute. Add in the sliced egg and green onions. Toss quickly, and pour onto a plate. Eat and enjoy! ^_^

FRIED GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
• In a food processor, pulse the garlic until finely minced.
• Fill a medium-width, deep-sided pot halfway with water and bring to a boil, then turn off the heat. Fill a large bowl with ice water. Transfer the garlic to a sieve and submerge in the hot water, blanching for about 2 minutes. Remove and dunk the garlic in the ice water until cooled, then drain well and spread evenly onto the lined baking sheet. Bake until the garlic is dry to the touch, 12 to 15 minutes.
• While the garlic is drying, empty out the pot and dry well. Fill the pot with at least 2 inches of oil, making sure to leave a few inches of clearance from the top of the pot. Heat the oil over medium-high until it reaches 350F (use a thermometer).
• Have the baking sheet lined with paper towels at the ready. Add the garlic and fry until the bubbles begin to subside and the garlic turns golden and rises to the surface, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the fried garlic back to the paper towels and let cool completely. Season generously with salt, then transfer to a sealable container and store in a cool, dry place for up to 3 weeks. Reserve the garlic-flavored frying oil for future use.
