自制番茄草药面条 Homemade Tomato & Herbs Noodles + Sambal Restaurant

上个星期看了珊珊@珊珊的小天地煮的清汤面後便很想吃自己做的面条，於是乘星期六早上早起便立刻开工！这＜自制番茄草药面条＞是以之前做的<红萝卜和波菜面条>为蓝本，把Sonia@Nasi Lemak Lover原来的食谱加加减减後而演变出来的。

After seeing San San@珊珊的小天地 sharing her noodle soup last week, I decided to make some noodles which I haven’t done for a few months. This <Tomato & Herbs Noodles> recipe was developed from the one that I used when making my <Carrot & Spinach Noodles> & yeah, it came from Sonia@Nasi LemakLover.

Tomato & Herbs Noodles

番茄和草药是好拍档，做出来的面条都散发出一股清淡的草药味，很特别!

I personally think that tomato & herbs work very well together. And these noodles gave a nice smell of the dried herbs. Yum!

这罐头番茄比起新鲜搅烂的番茄酱来得浓厚些，这对上色很有帮助！

I used canned Italian Diced Tomatoes. They are quite thick. After blender, they became thicker which is good in colouring the noodles.

Homemade Tomato & Herbs Noodles

(Recipe Source:Adapted from Carrot & Spinach Noodles)

Serves 3-4

Ingredients:

260g Plain Flour

2g Salt

1/2 Egg

80ml Water

60g Thick Tomato Paste, SEE NOTE 1

2tsp Dried Mixed Herbs

15ml Oil

Method:

1. Place flour, salt & dried herbs in a big mixing bowl, stir to combine.

2. Add egg, water & tomato paste. Stir to combine.

3. Knead with machine until a dough ball is formed. 

4. Add oil. Continue to knead until a smooth dough is formed. It is a little bit sticky like the play dough.

5. Divide into 2 portions, place in a oiled bowl. Spread with little bit of water, cover with cling wrap & rest for an hour.

6. Grab one dough ball, dust the dough, hand & rolling pin, roll out into oval. Repeat for another dough ball.

7. View the rest of the steps here. Check from Step 6-8. 

Oops, I forgot to upload these photos earlier!

NOTES:

1) I used 110g diced tomatoes as above to blender & it yields about 80g of thick tomato paste.

2) The dried herbs helped to absorb the moisture of the dough a little. If you don't add the herbs, please reduce the water/tomato paste a little.

3. Like I mentioned earlier, the brand of tomatoes I used gave a thick tomato paste. In the supermarket, you can buy the ready-to-use tomato paste, do consider that. Thick paste is good in colouring the noodles. Fresh paste made with fresh tomatoes may be a bit watery, for this, do adjust the water/flour used when making the noodles.

Sambal Restaurant

昨天去了我们时常都关顾的马来西亚餐厅,Sambal吃午餐。这家餐厅的海南鸡都煮得很香滑，order时一定要说明要鸡腿的部份，不然会给你鸡胸肉哦！

We went to our favourite Malaysian restaurant, Sambal to have lunch yesterday after Ethan’s swimming lesson.  This restaurant is famous for their Hainanese Chicken, very tender & soft.  But when placing the order, one must mention that you need the chicken drumstick part, or else, you will be given the chicken breast.

炒果条是孩子的(aud$12.30,其中一个老板是Penang lang)

The children shared a plate of Char Kway Teao(one of the co-owners is Penang lang,aud$12.30)

辣死你妈是老公的(aud$14.80)

Hubby ordered Nasi Lemak(aud$14.80)

Mee rebus(aud$13.80)是我的！

I had the Mee Rebus(aud$13.80)

这mee rebus每个月只卖两天，难得昨天有的吃，当然要order啦。它的辣度做得和马来西亚一样，要喝椰水加两杯水才可以把那团火灭掉, 厉害！

This Mee Rebus only available twice every month on a specific weekend, so must have for me. It was so hot that I had to drink a glass of coconut water($4) + 2 glasses of water to “kill” the heat in my mouth. Felt like my tummy & colon were burning after eating!

这棵牛油果树就在Sambal的隔壁，七八年来很难看到它结果，但昨天给我kup到四粒。这树像红毛丹树那麽高大！

This avocado tree is as tall as a rambutan tree. It is located next to Sambal & for the past 7-8 years, I rarely see the avocados but yesterday was my lucky day, I spotted 4 hanging high up on the tree.
