Recipe of the Chicken Mie Pangsit, an Indonesian food pillar

Chicken Mie Pangsit

with dry egg noodles, chicken dumpling and choy sum, served with prawn cracker, chicken broth and sriracha sauce.

A new cooking experience

We’re embracing technology while also acknowledging the world situation. So, I’ve been doing my best to set up my restaurant Monsoon remotely. Although I can’t be in Hong Kong personally, I’ve regularly liaised with Chef Budiana and the Monsoon team via video conferencing and working live online with Zoom. Then came an idea: to offer people a new experience of cooking from home. We start this new masterclass series with a pillar of the Indonesian food culture, derived from the traditional Chinese cooking techniques: the “mie ayam pangsit” (seasoned noodles served with diced chicken on top)
