Description
Fried saimin, a popular local Hawaii dish, is a yummy combination of fresh saimin noodles topped with char siu, Spam, kamaboko, and veggies.
Ingredients
1 package Sun Noodle Original Saimin or other fresh noodles, about 10–11 ounces
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 ounces low-sodium Spam, julienned (half a can)
1 medium carrot, julienned
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 cup cabbage, thinly shredded
3 ounces kamaboko fishcake, julienned (half a package)
4 ounces char siu, julienned
3 green onions sliced
Sauce
1 packet of saimin dashi (included with the noodles)
2 tablespoons shoyu
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
Instructions
Boil a medium pot of water. Drop the noodles in the boiling water and cook according to package directions. Drain and rinse well. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the sauce ingredients. Set aside
In a large frying pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil. Fry the Spam to release some of the fat, about 1 minute.
Add the onions and carrots and stir fry for 1-2 minutes to soften (you still want a little crispness to the carrots).
Add the cabbage and stir fry until the cabbage begins to wilt, about 30 seconds.
Add the kamaboko fishcake and char siu. Stir fry to heat through, about 1 minute.
Add the noodles to the frying pan and combine with vegetables and meat. If the noodles are clumped together, rinse with a little cold water before adding to the pan.
Pour the reserved sauce mixture over the noodles and stir to combine.
Sprinkle with green onions before serving.
