Fried Mee

Fried Mee (Mee refers to yellow noodles) is a common Malaysian food served in almost all Malay and Chinese stalls. The ingredients and cooking method varies according to available ingredients and preference. The one I cooked this morning is a simple version using only basic ingredients. To make it more special, you can add fish balls/cakes, bigger size prawns, beef, fried soya cake (tauhu) and anything else that possibly can go with it.

1 kg Yellow Noodles / Mee
10 Shallots

4 tbsp Oil

3 cloves Garlic

½ cup (more/less to taste) Chilli Sauce
1 stalk Mustard Leaves
1 small bowl Bean Sprout
1 tbsp Salt
¼ tsp MSG (optional)
1 stalk Spring Onion + Chinese celery - chopped
