This is again another using the mashed pumpkin that i have left in the freezer. I am still posting a mushroom dish..lol

Why?? I must try this because this is new to me :D

It is my first time cooking with porcini. Porcini is an Italian mushroom.

Porcini Mushrooms are known for their subtle, distinctive flavor. These mushroom are rich meaty flavored mushroom that have a large, round cap that is pale yellowish brown to dark reddish brown in color and grows 2 to 8 inches in width. The Porcini mushroom's flavors are actually enhanced when the mushrooms are dried in much the same way as sun-dried tomatoes flavor's are. The authentic flavor of these mushrooms is especially popular in Italian cooking where Porcinis are added to risotto, pasta, sauces, soups, casseroles, and stuffing.

These are the fresh Porcini mushrooms

鲜蘑菇

牛肝菌是众所周知的微妙，别有风味。这些蘑菇是浓郁的肉香风味的蘑菇，有一个大的，淡黄褐色酱色的颜色和增长2至8英寸宽的圆帽。牛肝菌蘑菇口味实际上是提高蘑菇时，在大致相同的方式作为干燥晒干的西红柿味道的。这些蘑菇是特别受欢迎的正宗风味的意大利烹饪Porcinis加入烩饭，面条，酱油，汤，砂锅，和馅。

These are the dried Porcini mushrooms that Zoe help me to get.

It has meaty aroma and its full of flavor. These Porcini mushrooms were flown in by air to me..:p

Thanks to Zoe for helping me to get these mushroom form Melbourne. (Not only these mushrooms and also together with a few other wonderful ingredients ;) So far i have never seen any shop here selling these mushroom or that i did not notice there is a shop sellling these.

I am so excited when i saw this pumpkin porcini noodles in Jessie Cooking Moment. I told nyself i am going to make this too. I am glad i did. My hubby and kids love it.

Thanks to Jessie for the wonderful recipe. This is suddenly a keeper.

Remember my Meat egg rolls, I use them to pair with this yummy noodles.
还记得我前几次贴上的贴吗? 蛋皮肉卷..这里就用这好好吃的蛋皮卷来做配搭.

Noodles is not too much of pumpkin flavour but i love the golden yellow, it is soft, smooth, slight chewy and it is just nice to make a bowl of yummy 'kolok mee' hahaha

(kolok mee is just some cooked noodles tos in a some soy sauce, shallot and garlic oil as dressing.

面条很香不过南瓜的味道不浓. 面条柔软, 带QQ..好吃, 很刚做我们这的'干捞面' \(^O^)/

1) Loosen the noodles a bit.

2) Add in the noodles once the pot of water boils.

3) Cooked for 3 minutes. Can use a pair of chopstick to stir a little.

4) Dish up, drain and tos in the soy sauce dressing :D

(will share the soy sauce dressing later)

Get ready the dressing in a bowl. When the noodles is cooked, drain it and tos it in the bowl.

把酱料条好在碗里, 当面条煮好滤干在放入碗拌均匀就可以享用了.

Sprinkle with some chopped spring onion and enjoy~

洒上请葱就可以享用了~~

Pumpkin Porcini Noodles 南瓜面条

(Recipe Source: Jessie-CookingMoments with a little modification)

Ingredients:

130g High Gluten Flour

130g Plain Flour

100g Pumpkin Puree

1.5 tsp Ground Porcini (i add 3 pieces of dried porcini on a piece of kitchen towel and dehydrated it a little more in the mircowave. Zap in the mircowave for 40 seconds so it become crispy and dried. Then ground with a pestle and mortar finely.)

3g Salt

60ml Water drained by the Pumpkin Puree (i use plain water)

12ml Oil (i use olive oil)

½ Egg

Method:

1.Place all ingredients except the oil in a bowl & knead with a mixer for few minutes or until the dough becomes a ball. The dough should be a bit sticky.

2.Add oil & knead for another few minutes until smooth.
(i do the above in bread maker machine. Put all the ingredients into the bread pan and let the bread maker machine do the job)

3.Divide the dough to 3-4 balls, spray with some water & cover with cling wrap. Let to rest for about an hour.

4.Roll out the dough with a flour-dusted rolling pin, then roll out through a pasta maker according to the instruction. Dust with some flour if needed. (i used tapioca flour to do dusting)

5.Rest the noodles for a few minutes before cooking. Again, dust with some flour if needed.

Small Tip:

These noodles only take 2-3 minutes to cook through in a pot of boiling hot water. Rinse with some cold water to stop the cooking process.
