Fried Shanghai Noodles (My Style of Fried Hokkien Noodles)

I have created my own style of Fried Hokkien Noodle using Shanghai Noodles, Shanghai Noodles are slightly thicker than the yellow noodles which can be find in Singapore. But the taste of the noodle is somehow the same. Though I may not be able to get the exact flavour of the real fried Hokkien Noodles flavour but it is equally good as you cook it with your heart and love.

What is Fried Hokkien Noodles? It is a dish of thick yellow noodles braised in thick dark soy sauce with pork, squid, fish cake and cabbage as the main ingredients and cubes of pork fat fried until crispy. This dish is usually found in Malaysia and Singapore.
