Ee Fu Noodles by Angela Seah Thulin

Braised Ee fu noodles is one of my favourite noodle dishes! It is commonly found in Chinese restaurant menus, and especially served during Chinese weddings in Singapore. I'm always drooling for this dish when group Plate & Palate members share it. A cooking friend of mine (Flora) was very nice to courier two such noodle packets to me. Normally you will use straw mushrooms for this dish but since I couldn't find good ones in Sweden, I've replaced it with Chinese mushrooms. For the same reason, I also had to replace yellow chives with scallions.
