Black Hokkien Mee
The Meatmen
December 16, 2016
A true taste of Kuala Lumpur! Not the typical hokkien mee found in Singapore, this variation is an exciting version that is well loved everywhere as well. The defining difference being in the use of lots of dark soy sauce, which results in the dark color of the noodles. Not forgetting the use of crispy pork lard which give the noodles it’s fragrance and body.
But dark soy sauce and pork lard are not the only thing used, prawns, squids, and pork belly (use the belly!) are also add, this is a yummilicious staple that would satisfy any noodle craving.
