'Kam Puang/Kolok Mee' (Foo Chow Noodles) Recipe

Hi all, as I promised..here is the 'Kam Puang/Kolok Mee' (Foo Chow noodles) Recipe. 'Kam Puang' mee is a very famous Foo Chow's local delicacy. Fyi, Foo Chows from Sitiawan, Perak call it 'Kam Puang' and in Sarawak they call it 'kolok mee'. Actually the traditional Kam Puang recipe uses lard (from pork) and pork crisps, but I replace it with shallot oil (remaining oil from Steamed Pumpkin Cake) and shallot crisps-healthier :) My parents have been making their own mee (handmade noodles) since I was young and I always love it. And now, my children and husband also enjoy this delicacy so much :)

As usual, i only share simple and easy recipes...So, to make it an easy recipe, you don't have to make the noodles yourself. I replace it with Sakura 'You Mian' that i bought from Tesco (picture as shown at the end of the article) and replace the sliced 'char siew' with hard-boiled eggs. And you still can enjoy the 'authentic taste' of this delicacy!
