About Char kway teow

Char Kway Teow is a popular stir-fried noodle dish originating from Southeast Asia, particularly Malaysia and Singapore. It features wide, flat rice noodles cooked over high heat with soy sauce, garlic, eggs, bean sprouts, Chinese chives, and assorted proteins like prawns, chicken, or sausage. Often enriched with dark soy sauce and fried in pork fat or lard, its smoky flavor comes from the "wok hei" or breath of the wok during the cooking process. Nutritionally, Char Kway Teow is energy-dense due to the carbohydrates and fats, providing quick fuel for active lifestyles. However, it is typically high in sodium and saturated fats, making it less ideal for regular consumption if you're managing heart health or weight. On the plus side, it contains protein from the eggs and meats, and fiber from the bean sprouts, contributing to a balanced meal when consumed in moderation.
