Char Kuey Teow (炒粿條/Penang Fried Flat Noodles)

Thermomix Char Kuey Teow (炒粿條/ Penang Fried Flat Noodles/ Kway Tiow Goreng)

Feel like having Char Kuey Teow today....

Went Tesco to get ingredients for Curry Kapitan and couldn't help it seeing bean sprouts and thought of Char Kuey Teow, so got myself a packet of Kuey Teow too.

I've cooked at least thrice before with my Thermomix but this time I did not refer to any recipe and worse, I do not have any shrimps in freezer! Oh well, I just give it a go with whatever I have, it turned out not bad :)

Tried to trace back, I got this from Rasa Malaysia's recipe, thanks Bee  :)

*Tips: please make sure your kuey teow is for frying not for soup (there are two types, the soup type is really soft ones and that can cause disaster.. i.e. your CKT will ended up like a starchy kueh.

2) Dish out 3/4 of the cooked Chili Paste (if kids can't have it spicy, then clean out all).

Party Food

Joey's hen's party...


Feb 8th, 2012, Joey is a friend's younger sister. I don't even know her but I thought, hey, my friend is back from Melbourne for CNY and asking her girlfriends to join in for her younger sister's hen's night, thinking for a fun night, not always, so why not. Since I have my Thermomix and still learning to cook, offered to cook nasi lemak and then ended up cooking up some other meals. Char Kuey Teow, Sambal Prawns, Fried Mi Hun.. My first time cooking up big meals. I've cooked for pot luck, enough to feed for about 5-8 persons, only one dish, white cream spaghetti and that too I thought I did well and most importantly I wasn't rushing then.


This time round..I was out getting grocery shopping including meals for my cancer friend, AP, who was still in hospital then for her 3 days chemo session. Then I was so excited meeting the girls tonight, I got some devil headbands for the sisters and a veil for the bride-to-be ;)

Bought 1 less, as I didn't know exactly how many persons that night, expecting 8 of us, but there were 9 of us :)


Then by the time I got home, I was super hungry, cooked mee suah for myself then started cooking. I was a bit silly to wait for Thermomix to finish the work for each dish before I can cook the next. I could have get some done on the stove top. Oh well, was still learning and really, when you said your food is cooked from Thermomix, they better do!

Black Sauce Noodle /  干捞 面 / 黑酱面



Feb 8th, supposingly cooked for my cancer friend but got mixed up with the many dishes made for Hen's night, so we got an extra dish that night.


I first fragrant the minced garlic and stir fry the chopped (of course chopped by TM, I'm a very lazy person :P ) mushroom, add in black snow fungus then added soy sauce, dark soy sauce and sesame oil. Then boil noodle, drained out, pour the sauce over and mixed. Simplest dish.


Then the other time I made WonTon noodle for my friend, AP. Should not have boiled the wonton in the bitter gourd's soup. I am ok with it but pity my friend who's taste bud already not doing well and I tricked her with bitter taste. Hmm.. Well, that's what happened when rushing for unplanned cooking. The third one.. I did the wonton wrapper with TM knead function, will have to try this recipe again soon, as we didn't have any corn starch or tapioca starch at home, making it a bit too hard in texture, not smooh..
