  • 100 g Coconut water
  • 1 tsp Tapioca flour
  • 1 tbsp Rice Wine (Arak Masak)
  • 1 tbsp Sesame oil, light
  • Salt or Aji-No-Moto to taste

For the sambal:

  • 2 small Chillies, red

For the Cap Cay:

  • 50 g Carrot
  • 80 g Cauliflower
  • 2 Kai Lan, only the leaves, (alternatively Swiss chard)
  • 3 leaves Chinese cabbage, (white cabbage)
  • 10 g Ginger, fresh or frozen
  • 2 small Chillies, green
  • 2 tbsp Sunflower oil

Also:

  • 1,5 liter Frying oil, fresh

Instructions
 

Frozen goods:

  • Thaw the frozen shrimp and fish balls. Halve the fish balls lengthways.

The pasta:

  • Take the pasta out of the package and soak with plenty of water for 1 minute. Strain and lay out on a fresh tea towel to dry off.

The sauce:

  • Mix the ingredients for the sauce in a bowl and set aside. For the optional sambal, wash the chillies and cut them crosswise into thin slices. Divide into 2 bowls and pour the Kecap manis over them.

The vegetable:

  • For the vegetables, wash the carrots, cut off both ends, peel and slice diagonally into approx. 3 mm thick slices. Wash the cauliflower, cap the stem at the bottom, peel the stem and cut it crosswise into thin slices. Separate the florets, cut them bite-sized and rinse everything again.
  • Wash the fresh kai-lan, separate the leaves from the stem. Cut off the stem, which is woody in the lower part, approx. 2 - 4 cm above the 1st leaf and discard. Separate the thin petioles from the leaves along the midrib, cutting the leaves in half lengthways. Cut the leaf stalks and the stem crosswise into thin rolls. Halve the leaf halves crosswise and keep them ready. Freeze the rolls deep. Measure and defrost frozen goods.
  • Use only flawless leaves for white cabbage. Wash the leaves. Only use the middle rib if it doesn't taste bitter. Cut the rib crosswise into thin slices, chop the leaves into pieces approx. 2 x 2 cm. Wash and peel the fresh ginger, cut across into pieces approx. 4 cm long. Cut the pieces lengthways into thin slices and cut them into strips. Work the strips crosswise into small cubes. Weigh frozen goods and allow to thaw.
  • Wash the small, green chillies, cut them crosswise into thin slices, leave the grains in place, discard the stem.

Fry the pasta:

  • Heat the frying oil to 200 degrees. Fry the pasta in 2 portions in about 12 seconds until crispy, but do not let it brown. Put on the serving plates.

Steam the shrimp:

  • Steam the raw shrimp in a colander over boiling water. Once they have changed their color to pink, remove them immediately and have them ready.

Stir-frying:

  • Heat the sunflower oil in a wok. Fry the carrot slices together with the cauliflower slices for 1 minute. Add the ginger and chilli and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the cauliflower florets along with the cabbage stalks and the fish balls and stir-fry for 30 seconds as well. Add the Kai Lan leaves and the shrimp and stir-fry briefly.

Show time:

  • Deglaze with the sauce. Pour the cap cay with the sauce over the noodles and serve immediately with the sambal.
