Char Kway Teow

If you don't mind the cholesterol then indulge in this favourite Singaporean habit of eating a high-fat hawker choice - the Char Kway Teow. This stir-fried flat rice noodle dish has wonderful ingredients composed of dark and light soy sauce, chili for some heat, de-shelled cockles, Chinese sausage wonderfully sliced, green bean sprouts, Chinese chives, and occasional prawns and eggs. The most important part of this dish is the good “wok hei” or breath of wok, the qualities and tastes imparted by cooking on a wok using high heat. These days, many cook are now choosing to omit the cockles but Char Kway Teow will always be incomplete without the addicting rich fried pork lard pieces.
