Vegetarian Penang Fried Kueh Teow (Flat rice noodles) Recipe - 2nd Version

This is one of The Pearl of Orient, Penang famous hawker food. The fried kueh teow sold by Penang hawkers are normally non-vegetarian type as they have cockles, lard and prawns in it. So, for a vegetarian version, it is not possible to get the same taste as the non vegetarian ones. Penang Char Keuh Teow is lighter in colour and drier than southern version. However, taste wise, it is actually up to the person’s preference!

Vegetarian Fried Kuih Tiaw Recipe (White Rice Noodles)

I tried to cook a vegetarian Char Kuih Tiaw and the taste is quite good. Kuih Tiaw taste good if it is fried in a wok over a large flame. You must be quick with your hand or else the noodles will stick to the wok.
Here is my Vegetarian Fried Kuih Tiaw Recipe

Ingredients
Wet Kieh Tiaw, 1 rice bowl
Light Soya Sauce, 1 table spoon
Dark Soya Sauce, ¼ teaspoon
Sugar, 1/3 teaspoon
Bean sprout, ½ bowl
Garlic, 5 pcs, minced
Chinese Chives (Kuchai), 5 pcs, cut into 1” length
Egg (optional, some vegetarian do take eggs), 1pc
Salt to taste
Vegetable oil, 2 table spoons

Put 2 table spoons of vegetable oil into hot wok. Sautéed garlic until fragrant. Put in the kuih tiaw, light soya sauce, dark soya sauce, salt to taste and sugar.(You can actually mix the soya sauces with sugar and salt, so that it will be easier to add in when frying the kuih tiaw). Add eggs and fry for a while. Put in the bean sprout. Don’t fry the bean sprout too long, so that it will still remain crunchy.
