I normally enjoy a good plate of char mien during the New Year because it has a lot of ingredients, from pork to extra chicken, beansprouts, liver, vegetables and even big prawns.
The noodles become very sweet and aromatic, and of course unforgetable.
There are some features you have to look for when looking at Foochow fried noodles :
Firstly the kuali of the cook must be clean and very hot for the frying to start with. Secondly, there must be ginger, spring onions and garlic as the three main aromatics. Thirdly, lard is the main secret ingredient to give the noodles the awesome shine and slippery character. Fourthly, sugar is used to caramalize the soy sauce before the good quality noodles are thrown into the kuali for the great stir fry.
Fifthly, good quality Foochow Fried Noodles, like the ones prepared in Hock Chu Leu, Sibu, have good ingredients, including fish slices, prawns, belly pork,and chicken. However even if all these are not added, a Foochow cook knows how to bring to your table a fragrant and unforgettable Foochow Fried Noodles to take your breath away.
