Time 15m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup chopped garlic
3 cups bean sprouts
1 pound fresh kway teow (broad rice) noodles
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup dark soy sauce
2 tablespoons seedless tamarind paste dissolved in 3/4 cup water
6 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon Thai chili sauce
3 Chinese sausages, thinly sliced
8 ounces medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 ounces chives, sliced into 2-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Place a large wok or sauté pan over medium heat. When the pan is hot, add 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil and all of the garlic. Sauté until the garlic is translucent, about 1 minute.

  • Return the wok to medium heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. When the oil is hot, add the eggs to the pan and stir until lightly scrambled. Add the noodle mixture, chili sauce and Chinese sausages. Add the shrimp and sauté until they start to turn pink, about 1 minute. Add the chives and toss until the shrimp are fully cooked, about 1 minute more. Serves 4. All recipes adapted from Fatty Crab.

I served this dish with a side of pickled cucumber and it was the perfect accompaniment. The sourness of the pickle cut through the richness of the char kway teow.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, so I omitted the chili paste from the recipe. It was still delicious, but I might try adding a little bit next time to see how it tastes.

The addition of the Chinese sausage and fish cake really elevates this dish. It adds a depth of flavor that you don't get from other char kway teow recipes.
