My 3 girls are hooked on yee mein and they like it cooked in all fashions – Cantonese style, Hokkien style, soup base or simply eat the yee mein on its own. Even iLike yee mein – it’s crispy and reminds me of eating Mamee, my favorite childhood junk food 😀
The other day, I cooked one big pot of fried yee mein and can you beat it that my girls ate them for 3 meals straight in a row? For lunch, dinner and lunch again the next day!! I was laughing all the way coz my girls loved my cooking and it was easy job for me as I only had to cook once for 3 meals LOL!!
Here’s another fashion of savouring the yee mein….
Tofu fish balls, pork slices, prawns and veggie boiled in fried fish soup. The ingredients and soup are then poured over the uncooked crispy yee mein. My kids loved it!

Nice yee mee serving. Ya I like it too hot gravy with crispy yee mee, emm yum yum.
Where did you buy the uncooked crispy yee mee?
Thanks in advance.
Yummy..
Susan… you can get it everywhere – supermarket, wet market and mini markets. It will be sold at the instant noodles section in a long transparant plastic bag. Usually there are 6 pieces inside and costs only RM1.80 – RM2.
oh.. I have not had yee mee for quite some time too… cant find it here though… 🙁 I like braised yee mee, yummy…
I bought the same yee mee and tried cooking the dish. I pour the sauce over the uncooked yee mee but the mee end up hard.
Do I need to fried the mee first? What is the process like? Any secret?
Susan… I didn’t cook the yee mein. My kids like it crispy. If you don’t like it hard and crispy, you can blanch it quickly with hot water to lightly soften it. If you want to ‘chau’ (fry it hokkien style), you blanch it. After frying the garlic, onions, pork, veggie, you add the blanched yee mein in. Then season it.
I like it to be crispy too but my mee is hard and not eatable. Unlike those served in eating places outside.
Will try to blanch it see how.
Susan… try buying the thinner ones, those are really crispy like Mamee! The thick ones like wires are really hard!
