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  :)
