Crab cakes made from fresh lump crab meat and Old Bay are authentic and easy to prepare. I do often make crab cakes, which are just as delicious and so much easier to prepare. Use fresh lump crabmeat and to go light on the filler. These have just enough filler to bind the crabmeat together and also add great flavor. I love them with the quick tartar sauce below, but you could also serve them with lemon wedges or cocktail sauce. Must try this heavenly delicacy you will for sure fell in ❤️ with it!🥰

4. Shape into 6 cakes (each about ½ cup) and place on the prepared baking sheet.

E-fu noodles (also known as Yi Mien are a type of Cantonese noodles made from egg and wheat flour. They have a spongy and chewy texture, which allows them to soak up all the sauce they’re cooked in.

• A pinch of coarse ground Black Pepper to taste
• A pinch of White Pepper, to taste

For serving

• Crushed red chili pepper (optional)
• Chinese chili oil (optional)

Method of preparation

1. Chopping: Chop up all your fresh ingredients – the garlic, ginger, onion, red chilies (discard seeds if less heat is desired), and the Chinese chives. (The straw mushrooms can be left whole as they are usually pretty small and will shrink while stir-frying them later.)
2. For the Noodles: Boil about 2,400ml of water in a large pan/pot. Once the water is boiling, add the noodles and cook until they have separated into strands but are still firm – about 3-4 minutes. (Be careful not to overcook them, as they will become too soggy when you stir-fry them later. The goal is to soften them up just enough before you stir-fry them.) Drain the water and set aside in a colander. Run some tap water over the noodles to prevent them from sticking.
3. Make the Shrimp Marinade: In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients for the shrimp marinade. Add the shrimp, mix to coat, and set aside.
4. Sauce Bowl: In a medium bowl, add all the ingredients listed under “Sauce Bowl” and mix thoroughly with a spoon to combine. Set aside.
5. Prep for Marinated Shrimp: Heat 2 TBLS peanut oil and a dash of sesame oil in a wok or large pan over high heat. Lift the wok and swirl it in a circular motion so that the oil spreads around the perimeter and then place it back on the stove. Once hot, add the shrimp and spread them evenly in the wok. Cook on one side for about 30-45 seconds, then flip and cook on the other side for 30 more seconds. Toss until no longer translucent, then transfer to a fine mesh strainer and hold above the wok to let the oil drain. Transfer the shrimp into another clean large bowl and set aside. Discard the oil in the wok and wipe with paper towels. Set back on stove.

For the Stir-fried E-fu Noodles with Shrimp:

1. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of peanut oil, chili oil (if using), and about 1 TSP of sesame oil in the wok. Lift the wok and rotate it in a clockwise motion to spread the oil around the perimeter. Set it back on the stove to let the oil heat up for a minute.
2. Once hot, add the onions and sauté until translucent – about 1 minute.
3. Add the garlic, ginger, and Chinese chives white part and stir-fry for 15 seconds. Then add the red chilies and continue stir-frying.
4. Add the straw mushrooms and stir-fry for a further 30 seconds.
5. Add the shrimps and toss with the rest of the ingredients in the wok to combine.
6. Mix the contents of the sauce bowl with a spoon, then add the noodles and pour the sauce over them evenly. Stir-fry and toss continuously to ensure that everything is combined and coated well in the sauce.
7. Season with black and white pepper to taste and continue stir-frying.
8. Add the green of the Chinese chives and stir-fry to combine. Cook until they turn radiant green – about 1-2 minutes. Continue tossing and stir-frying everything until the noodles have heated through, then turn off the heat and transfer to a serving dish or bowl.
9. To serve: Serve the noodles with Chinese chili oil and crushed red chili pepper on the side if desired if you want to have more chilli/ spices. One of the very good noodles dish on the coastal area it helps to regulate the blood circulation.😘👍👌
