Directions
Fish Head Noodle 鱼头米粉 (Yu Tao Mai Fun) is a milky soup noodle dish. Although named as fish head noodle, generally we don’t see fish heads in the bowls of noodles we order in the shops. They usually comes in the form of fried fish fillets or fish pastes. I find that fried fish fillets gives the final soup an in-depth fish flavour. But if you want to avoid fish bones hazard then go fish pastes instead. In this recipe, I’ve opt for fresh fish fillets.
