Hokkien Fried Mee is a popular hawker food sold at any food court or hawker stall in Malaysia. It's also the first Malaysia meal I introduced to Mishu when we dine at Malaysian restaurant the moment she started solid food.Now this hokkien fried mee or "black noodle" has become one of her favourite dish.Whenever we eat at Malaysia restaurant at Chinatown,she must have Hokkien Fried Mee without fail.Too bad we don't have the luxury to order Fried hokkien mee anytime or any place in US and A except going to Malaysia restaurant which is almost 40 miles away from home.So to satisfied our craving ,I cooked Fried Hokkien Mee at home with the special caramel thick soy sauce made in Malaysia.Of course ,cooking fried hokkien mee at home is not as same as the one at the restaurant which have "镬气" or high heat cooking but beggar can't be choosy right? Anyway,with the right ingredients like fried lard ,fried garlic and fried scallion ,this dish is still delicious and tasteful!
