Char kway teow, literally “stir-fried ricecake strips”, is a popular noodle dish in Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia.

It is made from kway teow which are 1 cm wide rice noodles, stir-fried over very high heat with light and dark soy sauce, chilli, whole prawns and other seafood, bean sprouts and chopped Chinese vegetables.

The dish is commonly stir-fried with egg, and slices of Lup Cheong (fatty Chinese pork sausage).  Char kway teow is traditionally stir-fried in pork fat, with crisp croutons of pork lard.

This low carb version uses zero carb Shirataki noodles.

BTW: The chilli blocks are made using Julie’s Chili paste block recipe on our blog.  But you could use commercial chilli paste too.
