CHINESE COOKING: I enjoy making this dish which is pretty to look at, delicious to eat, and loaded with nutritional value.

FRIED MILK 大良炒鮮奶:

 

 

 

8 oz. milk                                                                   

6 egg whites

6 tbsp. cooked crab meat, fresh or canned                 

4 cooked mushrooms, sliced

1 oz. dry  rice vermicelli                                                         

1 tbsp. cooked ham, minced

1 cup cooking oil

seasoning:

    1 tsp. salt                                                    

    1 tbsp. tapioca starch

 

 

 

In wok or non-stick saucepan, heat oil over high heat until very hot. Drop in a small handful of broken-up rice vermicelli. Cook it very quickly or until each thread pops and turns white. Remove quickly and drain on paper towels. Repeat this procedure until all vermicelli is used up. Arrange fried vermicelli on a serving platter. Reserve used oil for other recipes.

 

Add dash of white pepper, little salt and 1 tsp. rice wine to cooked crab meat. Mix well and set aside.  

 

Beat egg whites thoroughly. Add in milk together with seasoning ingredients, sliced mushrooms and crab meat. Stir well to mix.

 

Add 1 tbsp. hot oil to a large non-stick skillet or wok and heat it over high heat until hot. Pour in the egg & milk mixture. Reduce heat to medium. Use a spatula to scoop egg mixture from bottom of pan to the top repeatedly while it is being cooked, to prevent egg whites from being browned. Continue cooking until egg mixture is set.

 

Arrange egg mixture over the vermicelli in serving plate. Sprinkle minced ham over the top to serve.
