Char Kuey Teow
Winding down after work with a plate of classic, comforting Char Kuey Teow or Fried Rice Noodles. This is a perfect meal on a busy weeknight. You can make it spicy or non-spicy. But I love mine extra spicy with extra chilly paste, topped with Pork Lard Crisps.

Some Chinese Chives (cut into 2-inch strips)
