Expert Cooking Tips
- Noodle Care: Don’t oversoak Bihon; a quick dip in broth is enough. Rinse Miki to avoid greasiness.
- Uniform Slicing: Cut ingredients evenly for consistent cooking.
- Wok Advantage: A wok’s high sides make tossing easier, but a large skillet works too.
- Tongs for Tossing: Use tongs to gently mix noodles and prevent breaking.
- Batch Cooking: For 16-25 servings, cook in two batches to maintain wok heat.
Modern Twists and Variations
- Vegan Miki Bihon: Use tofu, vegan shrimp, and vegetable broth. Swap Kecap Manis for a vegan version.
- Gluten-Free: Use tamari instead of soy sauce and ensure squid balls are gluten-free. Bihon is naturally gluten-free.
- Spicy Kick: Add 1 tsp chili oil or sliced fresh chilies during stir-frying.
- Low-Carb: Replace Bihon with shirataki noodles and reduce Miki by half.
