Pan Mee Soup

Made Pan Mee once before and am still adjusting the following recipes. Let me know if you have some good idea to improve the taste of the following recipe.

Noodle dough:300 gm all purpose flour, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 egg, 160 ml(2/3 cup) water (please adjust)

Method:
1. In a big mixing bowl, add your flour, Add your egg, half of your water, salt in.
2. Mix well. Be careful not to add to much water. Just start kneading slowly until you get a nice firm smooth dough. Leave for an hour before you cook it.

Assembly of pan mee
Halve the noodle dough and roll it to about one centimeters thick. Pick the dough up and start tearing it into ununiform pieces into the boiling pot of broth.

Meet sauce
Heat pan with 1tsp oil and the sesame oil (1/2 tsp), and add garlic. Saute the garlic until fragrant or until it turns slightly opaque and then add your mushroom. Add 250g minced chicken in and some pepper. Cook the chicken mince until most part of it are opaque. Add 3 tsp oyster sauce, 1/2 tsp dark soya sauce, in except water. Stir to mix well. Add 250ml water and let the sauce come to a boil. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes before taking it out of the heat into a bowl.

Soup
Add ikan bilis/chicken stock and water. Add pepper and salt to taste.
If you have some green veggies like bok choy or moni leaves or choi sim, you may add so now. Scoop the noodles and veggies up into a bowl and serve with a topping of meat sauce and fried anchioves.
