Bean Sprouts Flat Noodles, locally known as Char Kueh Tiaw and fried with only towgeh or beansprouts or can be fried with seafood, most commonly are prawns and cockles. I liked to simply cook plain with only beansprouts or towgeh, hence it is called"Towgeh Kueh Tiaw".
Every ingredients here is agak agak only(estimation). Measure according to my own taste.
Nice Char Kueh Tiaw are hard to find nowadays, so why not cook it at home?
Since Kueh Tiaw are already oily, I do not want to add in much oil .Some hawkers cooked their Kueh Tiaw too oily. Cooking at home means I can control the oil and I wanted my Kueh Tiaw to be not too oily. Ingredients:
1 packet flat noodles/kueh tiaw 1 pip garlic 1 small red onion 2 eggs 1 handful of fish cake 1 handful of towgeh/bean sprouts a handful of green leafy vegetables Sauce: (mixed together before cooking) 1 1/2 tbsp soya sauce 1 tbsp light soy sauce 1 tbsp oyster sauce 1/2 tbsp chicken granules(optional)
cooking oil
1. Add oil to the wok. When ready, add in red onions and garlics and fry till brown and fragrant.
2. Add in the fish cake, then the kueh tiaw.
3. Move the kueh tiaw to leave space to pour in the eggs. let the eggs set for a while, then keep frying.
4. Then add in the mixed sauce. Fry for a minute before adding in the towgeh and green lefy vegetables.
5. Keep frying for 3 more minutes until evenly mixed and dish it up to serve. Over cooking will make the kueh tiaw to break easily.
Note: Another method of cooking is to add in all the ingredients in first then the sauce add in last. Either
way can still get a nice delicious Char Kueh Tiaw.
