Uncle Anthony’s Hokkien Recipes - Anthony Loo Hock Chye
BASIC CHICKEN STOCK
1.5 ℓ water
5 whole chicken carcasses
3 heads garlic
50 g ikan bilis (dried anchovies)
Bring all the ingredients to boil in a large pot. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour. Strain and discard all the solids. Store the stock in the fridge.
Tip
The stock may be frozen and stored for up to a month.
If you are strapped for time, you may purchase ready-made chicken stock from the supermarket. Note that those are saltier then the recipe here, so be prudent when adding salt to taste.

DRIED SHRIMP WITH CHILLI SAMBAL
HEI BEE HIAM
200 g hei bee (dried shrimps), soaked
30 g belacan (shrimp paste)
4 red chillies
6 dried chillies, soaked
4 cloves garlic
4 shallots
4 tbsp oil or lard
1 tsp salt
1½ tbsp sugar
Pound all the ingredients, except the oil, salt and sugar, using a mortar and pestle. Alternatively, blend them in a blender. Heat up the oil in a wok over medium heat and fry the paste, stirring continuously, until fragrant. Add in the salt and sugar, stir for 5 minutes more, and serve.
illustrationTip
Use pork lard oil for a more fragrant product. To make lard, fry a slab of pork lard over low heat until it renders.
This will keep in the fridge for 2 weeks. Have with anything—rice, noodles, meat, vegetables, even spread over bread.
COLD TOFU
oil, for frying
5 small shallots, thinly sliced
1½ tbsp dark soya sauce
½ tbsp oyster sauce
1 block silken tofu (300 g), chilled
1 stalk spring onion, chopped
Heat oil in a wok or frying pan, making sure there is enough to submerge the shallots. When hot, fry the shallots until brown and crispy. Remove the shallots with their oil from the heat, then mix in the dark soya sauce and oyster sauce.
Pour the mixture over the chilled tofu. Sprinkle with the spring onion and serve.
