⭐ Char Kway Teow Recipe (Authentic Malaysian Stir-Fried Noodles)

Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Malaysian / Southeast Asian

Make authentic Char Kway Teow at home with flat rice noodles stir-fried in soy sauce, prawns, eggs, Chinese sausage, bean sprouts, and garlic. A quick and flavorful Malaysian street food classic ready in under 25 minutes!

🥢 Ingredients

For the noodles:

  • 300g flat rice noodles (kway teow)
  • 200g prawns, peeled
  • 1 Chinese sausage (lap cheong), sliced
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup bean sprouts
  • 2 tbsp chopped garlic
  • 3 tbsp cooking oil
  • 1 cup chives, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 tsp chili paste (optional for spice)

Sauce mix (combine in a bowl):

  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tsp fish sauce
  • ½ tsp sugar
  • A pinch of white pepper

🔥 Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the noodles

If using refrigerated noodles, loosen them by microwaving for 30 seconds.

Step 2: Heat the wok

Add oil and let it become very hot. Char Kway Teow needs high heat for smoky flavor.

Step 3: Sauté garlic & sausage

Add chopped garlic, stir for 10 seconds, then add the sliced Chinese sausage.

Step 4: Add prawns

Cook until they turn pink.

Step 5: Push aside & cook eggs

Move everything to one side. Crack in the eggs and scramble lightly.

Step 6: Add the noodles

Add loosened rice noodles. Pour all the sauce mixture on top.

Step 7: Add bean sprouts & chives

Toss everything quickly on high heat for 1–2 minutes. Avoid over-mixing.

Step 8: Serve hot

Garnish with extra chives or chili paste.

🍜 Tips for Best Results

  • Use fresh rice noodles for the best texture.
  • Stir fry quickly to avoid breaking the noodles.
  • Add cockles for authentic Penang-style Char Kway Teow (optional).
  • High heat = smoky wok fragrance (wok hei).

❓ FAQs

1. Can I make Char Kway Teow without a wok?

Yes! Use a large frying pan and cook in small batches to keep heat high.

2. What noodles are best?

Flat rice noodles (hor fun/kway teow). Avoid very thin noodles.

3. Can I make it vegetarian?

Yes — skip prawns and sausage, add tofu and mushrooms.

4. Why did my noodles break?

Because the heat was too low or noodles were too dry.
