About Char kway tiao

Char Kway Teow is a popular stir-fried noodle dish originating from Southeast Asia, particularly Malaysia and Singapore. Made with flat rice noodles, it typically includes ingredients like prawns, Chinese sausage, fish cake, bean sprouts, eggs, garlic, soy sauce, and chili paste, all wok-fried to give it a smoky, charred flavor known as "wok hei." Traditionally, the dish is prepared using lard, but vegetable oil is sometimes used as a lighter alternative. Char Kway Teow is notable for being calorie-dense due to its high fat and carbohydrate content. While it provides protein from seafood and eggs, it is also high in sodium and saturated fats, making it more of a comfort food than a health-conscious option. Nutrition-conscious eaters might opt for smaller portions or request less oil and fewer processed toppings to make the meal slightly healthier.
