Sarawak Red Kolo (Kolok) Mee 哥罗面

Today I treated my family to a special noodle dish from Sarawak. It’s been awhile since I made this and although it is called Red Kolok Mee, no colouring was used. Well at least not me. As for the steps of cooking please have a read here –

Nowadays you can make char sui anytime in the air fryer and it’s quite fast and no frills like I did today. However if you did not marinate your pork overnight feel free to liberally poke it with a sturdy fork before marinating. I did it as soon as I went down to the kitchen this morning. Some days you just do not know what to cook and I just decided this was going to be today’s dish, right before I fell asleep last night!

The char sui was roasted in my air fryer for 30 minutes at 190C, from room temperature. 20 minutes on one side and I flipped over for another 10 minutes. I set my temperature and time according to the thickness of my pork belly. Give it a go as practise makes perfect. I actually wanted to light the BBQ to char them but was too lazy and the family were starving. So I just took the char sui to my garden on a tin plate and torched them a bit to get the char with an industrial blow torch.

Notes

TIP – Noodles need to be drenched in boiling water and then immediately into cold water to give them that ‘bouncy’ or QQ texture.
TIP – Invest in a blow torch and use them to torch your char sui and other meat. It brings out a better taste and looks better. Do not buy the expensive silly cooking blow torch. Get one from the DIY shops. They are the best! 
TIP – make your mince with added pork lard for the little ‘crackling’ for a much better taste. Add in garlic and shallots.

    1. Hi Pauline, Thanks. In UK I am sure you can get from some suppliers bringing in goods to see. Mine were gifts from classmates who goes back to Kuching often. Apologies for the late reply.
