Malaysian Recipe for Char Koay Teow or Fried Rice Noodles Penang Style

INGREDIENTS

• 450g fresh flat rice noodles
• 5 tbsp oil
• 1 tbsp garlic (chopped rough)
• 4 cups bean sprouts (rinsed & trimmed)
• 225g fresh medium shrimps (shelled & deveined)
• 4 eggs
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
• 3/4 garlic clives (cut into 2 inches lenghts)
  
  Chili Paste
• 8 dried chillies (sliced, soaked & drained)
• 1 tsp shrimp paste (crumbled)
  
  Sauce
• 1 tbsp light soy sauce
• 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 tbsp water

HINT: Wok must be on high heat. To make it a truly authentic dish, cook and serve each dish individually. Use enough oil so the noodles won't stick but not too much or the char koay teow becomes greasy. You can also add 'kecep manis' or sweet soy sauce for added favour.

Makes about 6 servings. You can add in any vegetables of your choice, I find choi sum tastes best.

My personal experience: For some reason, if I don't add prawns into the dish, it does not taste as good. To jazz up your char koay teow dish, why not add cooked pieces of crab meat?
