Waiting for a cook
Mauritius
Mine bouille is the soup side of Mauritian noodle cooking, where mine frite is the fried side: fresh egg noodles boiled briefly and dropped into a deep bowl over a spoon each of light soy, sesame oil and fish sauce, topped up with the hot cooking water or a chicken broth, and finished with whatever the stall has, usually marinated chicken, a fried egg (dizef roti), boulettes chouchou (chayote dumplings), spring onion and a spoon of chilli paste. It is the Sino-Mauritian answer to ramen, sold from noodle counters all day and made at home when someone is unwell or in a hurry.
The draft was written from 2 published sources and holds 9 ingredients and 5 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
