Vegetarian Char Kway Teow with homemade Sambal



Serve 3

Ingredients:

1kg Kway Teow/ Flat noodles
1 bowl of cabbage (shredded)
1 bowl of bean sprout 
1 bowl of Choy sum
10 - 12 vegetarian prawns
Ginger (chopped finely)
3 eggs

Sauce (mix well):
 
6 tbsp of light soya sauce
1 1/2 tbsp dark soya sauce
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
Few dashes of pepper

Method is for 1 serving:

1) Heat wok with 2-3 tbsp of oil then add in ginger & sauté till fragrant.

2) Add in vege prawn & cook till slightly brown. Followed by cabbage & bean sprout. Stir-fry for awhile & then add in Kway Teow (1 bowl but my measurement - just grab the noodles with one handful) ....Got it? :P 

3) Immediately can scoop in 2 tbsp of sauce & stir well. Using your spatula, push the noodles aside & add a bit of oil followed with an egg (If you are using a non-stick wok then may omit extra oil.) Have a quick stir on the egg yolk then cover the egg with noodles. Leave it for around 10 seconds. Then mix everything. Lastly, put in Choy sum & stir for awhile till Choy sum is cook.

4) May add sauce to taste. Otherwise, it's ready to serve.

  2. Hi Ng, thanks for visiting my blog & u r the 1st one to comment! 😊 okay, I'll reply one by one ya.....

    1) I'm using a non-stick wok.
    2) Tamarind is a sticky & sour-tasting fruit. U can buy the paste from supermarket/Indian/Chinese food store.
    3) I've kept this in the fridge for 5 days by now & still taste good.

    P/S: Do include the vegetarian belacan powder if possible. It will enhance the taste.
