Instructions

1. 1

   In a small bowl, combine dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, chili paste, sugar, and white pepper powder. Mix well.

2. 2

   Heat lard or vegetable oil in a large wok over high heat until smoking. Add minced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant.

3. 3

   Add shrimp, cockles, and fish cake to the wok and stir-fry briefly until the shrimp just start to turn pink. Add flat rice noodles and the prepared sauce mixture. Stir-fry rapidly to coat the noodles evenly.

4. 4

   Push the noodles to one side of the wok, crack the eggs into the empty space, and scramble them quickly. Once the eggs are partially set, mix them with the noodles. Add bean sprouts and Chinese chives, along with water or chicken stock. Continue to stir-fry for another minute until the vegetables are slightly wilted and the noodles are heated through.

5. 5

   Serve Char Kway Teow immediately, garnished with fresh chili slices if desired.
