About Char kuay teow

Char Kuay Teow is a beloved stir-fried noodle dish originating from Southeast Asia, particularly Malaysia and Singapore. Made with flat rice noodles, prawns, Chinese sausage, eggs, bean sprouts, chives, and often cockles, this dish is cooked over high heat with soy sauce, garlic, and chili, giving it a smoky aroma known as "wok hei." Its rich flavors come from the use of oil and a variety of proteins, but these ingredients also contribute to its higher calorie and fat content. Though not considered a low-calorie option, Char Kuay Teow provides a good source of protein from the seafood and eggs and essential vitamins from the bean sprouts and chives. However, it can be high in sodium and saturated fats, especially in hawker-style preparations. Moderation and thoughtful ingredient choices can make this vibrant dish a more balanced option while fully enjoying its unique taste.
