3 L water
1 kg chicken bones (blanched & rinsed)
20 g dry small shrmp (washed)
8 g white peppercorn (crushed)
2 tbsp dashi stock granules
100 g fresh or frozen oysters (rinsed with water)
1 tsp salt
80 g sweet potato flour
3 tbsp fried shallots
1 tbsp chicken stock powder
2 tbsp light soy sauce
salt and sugar (to taste)
250 g mee sua (whole wheat vermicelli) - blanched in boiling water and drained just before adding into broth
4 tbsp corn starch mixed with 3 tbsp sweet potato flour and 50 ml water (mix into slurry)
1 tsp dark soy sauce (for soup colouring)
topping condiments:
2 tbsp bottle chilli oil
8 cloves garlic (blended into paste with 15 ml water)
60 ml black vinegar mixed with 30 ml rice vinegar & 100 ml water
1 bunch coriander (chopped)
| Coating the oysters in sweet potato flour before blanching will enable the oysters to remain plump and juicy after cook and you do not need to fish around the bowl of mee sua for the tiny ones.
Add oysters. Serve hot with topping condiments listed above.
