This version of fried koay teow [Char Koay Teow] is a home-cooked version of Penang Char Koay Teow. It is very tasty and can be easily prepared in your own kitchen. I didn’t include clams cos’ these days with contaminated sea water, it is best to avoid eating clams [si harm].
The sauce ingredient is sufficient for 3 servings. Just do some simple calculation if you are cooking a varied portion. I used 600 gm koay teow cos’ 450 gm isn’t enough to fill my family members’ tummy for a meal, hehehe!.
For nicer taste, it is advisable to fry one serving at a time. Better ‘Wok Hei’ and you will enjoy a plate of fragrant 'char koay teow' in the comfort of your home. Moreover, it isn't as oily as from the hawker's stall. Lard can also be used for frying this noodle.
