Char Kway Teow

A popular noodle dish found in the busy streets of Malaysia and Singapore, Char Kway Teow isn't your typical stir-fried dish. Its smoky and full flavor comes from cooking each ingredient over very high heat in a well-seasoned wok. This dish is perfectly sweet, salty, and savory yet still fresh. Sounds too good to be true? Try it out yourself!
