这碟炒米粉只是虚张声势,徒有其表,没有妈妈的味道。
妈妈在世的时候,炒米粉加自制的辣椒酱远近驰名,亲戚朋友家宴客,公司部门员工的聚餐,都少不了妈妈的炒米粉。
妈妈这样口述过:炒米粉不是用炒的,是用加了料(香菇或虾仁)的水将米粉焖干,水的分量随米粉的多寡而定,米粉的品牌和粗细也要注意,因为吸水的性能不同,水分用得对,米粉会带香菇或虾仁的香味,不油腻也不干燥,吃起来就有‘QQ’的感觉。材料另外准备,然后参入米粉里搅拌均匀,炒米粉是很简朴的菜,不需要用太‘贵气’的材料,只要把材料炒得好,居功不少。
弟弟说我的炒米粉不好吃,但勇气可嘉。
外甥女比较坦白:“不好吃,因为你不是阿嬷!”

i will like to try, to support your effort of trying to remember how it was done by your mum, that famous mee hoon and chilli, i miss that too.
like your niece comments, no one will ever cook better than her ah ma, it is not the skill or the taste but it is the sentimental memory that she once has.

You are right, it’s the sentimental value that counts. No matter how well I have done, Ah Ma’s Mee Hoon is still the best.
