This recipe is from one of my male students who is from Malaysia. He has changed it some to fit what he can buy fresh here in California. Great use of leftover pork. I've eaten it...it's hot but mellowed by the fruit.

POODLE DOODLE (MALAYSIAN NOODLE STIR-FRY)



Poodle Doodle (Malaysian Noodle Stir-Fry) image

My brother lived with us many years ago. He was a fussy eater, but was trying new things at last. One night when I was making this dish he tried a piece of lap cheong & declared it tasted like a poodle's .... well, you get the drift. I started making this with a Kwan Du recipe, but don't think I ever really followed the recipe very closely. We love lots of vegies in our stirfries - feel free to use your favourites. Reheats well in the wok or microwave.
