Reply to "Malaysia's top 40 foods"

31. Char kuey teow

We asked author and chef Norman Musa, one of Malaysia's most famous exports, which dish he'd be outraged not to see on a list of the country's top dishes. This is the one.
Another one to thank China's migrants for, char kuey teow --- made with flat rice noodles --- is one of Southeast Asia's most popular noodle dishes.
The noodles are fried with pork lard, dark and light soy sauce, chili, de-shelled cockles, bean sprouts, Chinese chives and sometimes prawn and egg.
Essential to the dish is good "wok hei" or breath of wok, the qualities and tastes imparted by cooking on a wok using high heat.
