Winter Melon Stir-Fry Shrimps And Glass Noodle

In Cantonese we used to call this dish "Tai Yee Mah Kar Lui" means big aunt's daughter is getting married. LOL  i don't know how and where they got the idea of this name but from very little i've heard of this name and this dish is one of my favorites.

This is a simple dish, it can make a very good one dish meal. I can eat it just by it self even without rice. I purposely add a lot of glass noodle if i'm eating just by it self. Remember to add more water if you want add extra glass noodle cause the noodle will absorb a lot of the gravy. Today i alter a little of this dish is by not cutting to thin strip instead of slices. However i still prefer the original version. Original is always better.
