Penang Char Kway Teow

Recipe

4 ratings
You’ll find many versions of Char Kway Teow in various regions in Southeast Asia but many people from all over Asia travel to Penang just to indulge in a plate of “the real deal”. Besides fresh ingredients, two critical elements for a good plate of Char Kway Teow are very high heat and a well-seasoned wok, which gives the dish what we call “wok hei” (the “breath” of the wok) – unique flavors imparted on to the food through this process.
