I ate this a lot as a kid. As I cook this, I still can remember vividly how my mom or grandma would stand by the stove and tear the dough and throw them in the pot. Back then when I was a kid, i found it very interesting. I will be playing with the dough and making all kinds of shapes to throw them in the soup. ahhh...good memories...Really miss those days!
For the Dough:
- 240g flour
- 130cc water(3/4 cup) * flour and water can be more or less, it all depends on the dough consistency!
- 1 egg
- pinch of salt
- 1 tsp of EVOO
- Mix all ingredients together into a dough. Knead the dough for 5 to 10 minutes. Then shape the dough into a ball, cover and leave to rest for about an hour or so.
- Handful of anchovy (I prefer pre-fried it first before throw in the soup)
- any leafy vegetables (spinach, bok-choy, choy-sum/mustard green or even napa cabbage)
- 1000cc water (6 cups)
- few cloves of minced garlic
- some chopped scallion
- Heat pot, add some oil, saute the garlic, then add in the water and a pinch of salt.
- Knead the dough a bit more. Then tear the dough into small thin pieces and drop it into the boiling soup.
- Add in the vegetables. Let it simmer for a few minutes. and then the fried anchovies.
- Once the dough is cooked. Season with salt, white pepper and a bit of soy sauce.
- Garnish with scallion and serve.

I love this dish. I used to eat this as a child too. I like top the soup with the fried Ikan Bilis just before I eat. Got to make it one of these days. We should make it together and eat it together. :)
