Although they are worlds apart, the hawker centres of Singapore, Malaysia, and Hong Kong have a lot in common with Farmers Market in L.A. They are both vast complexes of stalls selling inexpensive prepared food to people on the go. You might not find tacos and doughnuts in a Singaporean hawker centre, but you will find authentic Singaporean specialties in Farmers Market.
Singapore's Banana Leaf is a family operation in the market serving Singaporean classics such as curries and noodles. This recipe for Mee Goreng from JoAnn Cianciulli's L.A.'s Original Farmers Market Cookbook is a classic hawker stall dish, spicy stir-fried noodles topped with a fried egg. This is a great vegetarian recipe on its own, but you can always add chicken or tofu to beef it up.
As always with our Cook the Book feature, we have five (5) copies of L.A.'s Original Farmers Market Cookbook to give away this week.
