Pumpkin Mee Hoon Kueh

Cute & healthy bowl of soupy Mee Hoon Kueh made with pumpkin puree! 

 I'm trying very hard not to distort the cut-outs as the dough is really soft and stretchy!

You can add any garnishes as desired. I've added an egg, pork fillet, baby choy sum, fishcake, fried anchovies and fried shallots in a simple anchovy broth.

Ingredient
  • 200gm pumpkin puree
  • 400gm plain flour
  • 3 tbsp corn oil
  • 1/2 tbsp salt
  • 2-3 tbsp water

Method
  1. Combine flour, oil, salt with pumpkin puree while is still hot. Add in tbsp of water and gather the mixture together to form a dough. 
  2. Knead lightly for 3 mins. Mixture will be slightly sticky but manageable. Cover and damp kitchen towel and rest for 30 mins.
  3. Knead again till dough is smooth and soft. Cover and rest for another 30mins. Divide the dough into 2 portions, cling wrap and store in air-tight container in fridge if not using it on the same day.
