Feel free to modify the recipe to suit your family needs. I don’t use lard in my cooking and one can substitute the meat to mock #meat or simply use #vegetables. #Oyster sauce can be replaced with #mushroom sauce.

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

There are variations of hokkien noodle. Choose the thick one. Soak noodles in boiling water to soften. Drain and set aside. Since i don’t take pork or lard, i use other type of animal fat. Below is the picture of animal fat i usually have/use at home. Feel free to replace it to your preferred animal fat. Note: it's best to prepare and measure all ingredients beforehand.

* Step 2

Heat wok. Pour in oil (or lard if using). Add garlic then meat slices, sauté for well for 2 mins.

* Step 3

In separate bowl, mix all the sauces- cooking caramel (if using), dark soy sauce, sesame oil, ground pepper. Pour this mixture into the wok. Add water, sugar and chicken cube (if needed). Stir. Then add noodle and cut green vegies of your choice. Next Add corn starch mixture. Let it simmer again till gravy thickens. Adjust taste to your liking. If using lard, add another spoon of lard to the noodle at this stage. Stir and remove from the heat.
