Char Moi (3 August 2013)
Char Moi, also spelled Char Moy, is an increasingly popular dish in Penang. Literally translated as "fried porridge", Char Moi is like a cross between moi2 (porridge) and char1 pnui33 (fried rice). I usually have this at home, though you can also find Char Moi sold at some coffee shops.
Here's my wife's recipe for making Char Moi:
Ingredients:
- Cooked porridge - not too watery
- Minced pork - marinate with seasoning for 30 minutes
- char siew pork - sliced into smaller pieces
- Shredded dried cuttlefish - washed and cut into shorter strips
- Dried oyster - washed, soaked and cut into smaller pieces
- Dried scallops - washed and soaked until soft
- Dried prawns - washed and soaked until soft
- Chives - cleaned and cut into 3 cm long
- Minced garlic
- Soya sauce
- Dark soya sauce
- Oyster sauce
- Sugar
- Shaoxing wine
- Pepper
- Heat a wok and fried the minced garlic until fragrant.
- Add in marinated minced meat, 'loosen' the meat and stir-fry for a few minutes.
- Add in shredded cuttlefish, dried oyster, scallops, dried prawns and char siew, fry until fragrant.
- Add in cooked porridge, stir well.
- If the color is not dark enough, add in more dark soya sauce. Adjust taste accordingly.
- If the porridge is too thick, pour in some hot water to dilute it, until desired consistency is achieved.
- Lastly add in chopped chives, mix well and off the heat.
- Dish out and serve hot.
