How to cook a plate of yummy Penang Char Koey Teow? A very famous local street food in Penang,Malaysia, a simple stir fry flat rice noodles.
1) Fresh Koey Teow (flat rice noodles), checked
2)Bean sprouts and chives, checked
3)Fresh cockles (Xi Ham-in Hokkien), checked
4) Fresh prawns, checked
5)Chinese sausages, checked
6)Chili paste, chopped garlic, pre-mixed sauce, checked
Recipe adapted from Obhin (original from Wendy), they advised to cook plate by plate but not big wok at one go. So I pretended myself like a hawker and asked my internal customer (my family ) their preference, and cook plate by plate. I made slightly changes to recipe, anyway, Thanks Ohbin and Wendy for kind sharing.

I think I'm only A1 in eating this.....my favourite. I don't think I can get a very hot fire for cooking this. I always see the hawkers use high heat when cooking this kway teow.

This truly looks wonderful. I love all the ingredients you've used, although I can't get noodles that wide I'm going to try this. I hope you are having a wonderful day. Blessings...Mary
The Chinese sausages in my opinion take the dish to another level....sadly fewer and fewer hawkers are including that in the dish
Cooking plate by plate tastes much better I must admit. Yours look so good, can set up stall already!

Nice dish... What exactly is Chinese sausage? Is it different from the ordinary sausage? Can I buy it in Chinese grocery stores?
Spoon and chopsticks, see this link to know better of what is Chinese sausage-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_sausage. Yes, you should able to get this from Chinese grocery stores or Asian stores.
