Montreal's Yong Tau Foo

Assalamualaikum.

I don't know why but I suddenly LOVE yong tau foo.When i went back to Malaysia last summer,everytime we went to Pasar Malam,I'll bring back a plastic bag of hot Yong Tau Foo.:)
Being me who always take more than I need,I'll always have the leftover for breakfast.Yes.For breakfast.Since coming back to Montreal,I've been craving for it.So I made my own..and yes,I had it for breakfast..with coffee..:)
Yong Tau Foo
Broth/Base
2 cups of water
1  cube of chicken stock
A dash of pepper

Boil everything together.

Sauce
1 big chunk of Gula Melaka/Palm Sugar
1 cube of anchovy stock
2 cups of water
1 tablespoon of cornstarch
2 tablespoon of dried chili flakes
Salt(if needed)

In a (sauce)pan, let the sugar melt in the water.
Add the anchovy paste and chili flakes
Mix the cornstarch with a bit of water and pour it in.
Add salt.
Broth/Base

Sauce

Ain't it simple?The price of yong tau foo at the Pasar Malam..Wallao.*shakes head*One fish ball can cost you 50 cents or so. Tengok harga,belum makan dah kenyang.=/
The recipe calls for belacan.I don't eat belacan.So that's why i substituted it with anchovy paste.I used to have allergies,now I just don't eat it.
Oh plus,I prepared it exactly like Mak Cik Pasar Malam did.Using a kitchen tong and a scissors.Teehee.:)

Those overseas,its easy peasy.Try it.:)

Btw,the recpie was originally taken from: http://www.myresipi.com/top/detail/632

Till then,Bonjournee,
Love,
Anggerik
