Hokkien mee Kuala Lumpur

Malaysia · Southeast Asia

Short description: This wok-fried noodle dish is dark, glossy, savory, and prized for smoky heat and crisp pork-lard bits.
Ingredients: Thick yellow noodles, dark soy sauce, pork, lard, prawns or squid, cabbage, garlic, stock, white pepper, and chile sauce.
Cultural note: It is associated with late-night noodle shops where high heat, dark soy, and rendered lard give the noodles their signature sheen.
Common misconception: It is not the prawn-broth soup or pale stir-fry that shares a similar name elsewhere; this version is dark and sauce-heavy.
