Char Kway Teow

Posted 2015-04-27 by finyfollow

Char Kway Teow is considered a "favourite" in Malaysia and Singapore.

It is made with rice sticks instead of noodles. It is often made with prawns and pork, but as I do not eat red meat, I have used chicken instead.

It also usually has a lot of rice sticks/noodles, but I cut down on this as I prefer less.

Preparation Time: 25 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Makes: 4 servings

Ingredients
Up to 200g rice noodles
250g uncooked [link http://reviewclue.com.au/raw-banana-prawns-by-coles/ prawns] - small if possible
200g chicken breasts, cut into bite sized pieces
2 red chillies, chopped finely
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 tsp ginger, grated
3 spring onions, sliced
1 cup bean sprouts
40ml soy sauce
¼ tsp [link http://reviewclue.com.au/changs-sesame-oil/ sesame oil]
½ tsp brown sugar, or coconut sugar

Method
  • Put the noddles in a large bowl, and pour boiling water over them. Separate with a fork.

  • Shell and de-vein the prawns, and cut in half crossways - it looks nicer if you leave the tails on, but this is optional.


  • Stir-fry the chicken pieces, chilli, garlic, and ginger in a wok until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken.


  • Heat a bit more oil in this wok and stir-fry the prawns until they just change colour. Remove from wok.


  • Stir-fry the spring onions and bean sprouts until the onion is soft.


  • Add the noodles and the remaining ingredients, and cook another minute or so.

  • Return the chicken and prawns to the wok, and stir fry until heated through.


  • Serve - it's also OK to reheat for a few minutes the next day in the microwave.
