Mee Berkuah (Noodles with Soup)

Voila! Yummy.

I've finally managed to find the time to start posting again. I've been quite a busy bee lately. Started working on this other magazine and like all new jobs, its always hectic in the beginning until you start getting into a routine. 

Mee Berkuah, is a dish that mum cooks when there is nothing else to cook. Mum calls it the 'lazy dish' cause its so so simple. As long as you have the ingredients...you are set. The cooking takes less than 5 minutes. Enjoy!

All the ingredients.

The Ingredients
• A packet of yellow noodles (mee kuning).
• 5 to 7 shallots (bawang kecil) sliced.
• 3 to 4 garlic (bawang putih) sliced.
