Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup chopped garlic
3 cups bean sprouts
1 pound fresh kway teow (broad rice) noodles
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup dark soy sauce
2 tablespoons seedless tamarind paste dissolved in 3/4 cup water
6 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon Thai chili sauce
3 Chinese sausages, thinly sliced
8 ounces medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 ounces chives, sliced into 2-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Place a large wok or sauté pan over medium heat. When the pan is hot, add 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil and all of the garlic. Sauté until the garlic is translucent, about 1 minute.

  • Return the wok to medium heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. When the oil is hot, add the eggs to the pan and stir until lightly scrambled. Add the noodle mixture, chili sauce and Chinese sausages. Add the shrimp and sauté until they start to turn pink, about 1 minute. Add the chives and toss until the shrimp are fully cooked, about 1 minute more. Serves 4. All recipes adapted from Fatty Crab.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but I'm glad I did. The Char Kway Teow was perfectly balanced and not too spicy at all. I loved the combination of flavors and textures.

This Char Kway Teow recipe is amazing! The use of both light and dark soy sauce gives the dish a rich and complex flavor. The addition of the egg and bean sprouts adds a nice texture and crunch. I would definitely recommend this recipe to anyone who
