Authentic Sabah Dish "Tuaran Mee"



" Tuaran Mee " is a noodle originated from Tuaran, my hometown. Its a freshly homemade egg noodles that tasted the best among all the normal egg noodles in the market around kota kinabalu city.

The noodles is specially made from batter of egg yolk and flour, which gives the aroma of egg when fried. There are few steps of frying it and its usually takes about 10 minutes or so that leaves a texture of golden crust at the bottom of the noodles and the smells just irresistable. the noodle used local vegetables such as sawi/pak choi/whatever vegys you prefer are added in during frying.

" Tuaran Noodle/Mee" used in every restaurants in tuaran town, with many years in business , Tuaran Noodle has expend its reputation around kk town even to nearby neightbouring countries. You can also find " Tuaran Noodle " on wikipedia too, how famous is that eh.......

whenever i leave town, i always want to have another plate of tuaran mee to fulfill my desire before i craving for good. so i start to be creative again! want to try cooking my own Tuaran Noodle..... i failed many times and find it so hard to handle tuaran noodle. but i have never give up on trying to cook this bloody noodle too at the sametime, finally one day, i bought some freshly made tuaran noodle from one of the tuaran noodle supplier with her very own restaurant, she explain how to actually cook and handle the noodle with its very own steps, so with her explaination and infor that i gather from the internet and do some comparison, i am finally on my way to cook a good dish of Tuaran Noodle of my very own.

I finally succeeded my first ever tasted "Tuaran Mee" just like any other fried Tuaran Mee at the eatery outlets. im so pleased with my result. I think i will forever lOVE Tuaran Noodle, i ate this since i was a kid....just love the smell of it too.
