How To Stir-fry Flat Rice Noodles/Char Kway Teow



Char Kway Teow or Fried Flat Rice Noodle is another famous Malaysian hawker or street food. Similar to most Asian dishes, the secret to making a perfect plate of this noodle is to have all the ingredients at room temperature and fried quickly over some really big flames. Since most of us do not a high BTU stove top at home, just fry the noodles one serving at a time.

They were all gone, all gobbled up! Make the dough first, add about 480 to 500g of all-purpose flour with 300ml of water. Knead the dough and let it rest.
