Penang Char Kuey Teow

You gals might have think, wait a minute, I don't see any shrimps nor the "si hum" in it right? Hahaha...
Well, it is my version of healthy Penang char kuey teow with boneless and skinless chicken breasts.

This is one of my hubby favorite dishes. He used to fry a killer kuey teow while I seated waiting to be served. See...I have no idea how to fry kuey teow before. He used to order Penang kuey teow from his favorite hawker store while in Malaysia and he learned how to cook it by standing there and watched. Thus, in the first few years while we were married, he was the only one who fried the kuey teow.

I think I started to take over the fried kuey teow last year because I just wanted to show him I could make a really good kuey teow too (I stole his secret while watching him fried the kuey teow a couple of times plus my added years of cooking experience helped). :) Now, I could proudly say I fried a killer kuey teow as well, might even tastes better than his. ;P Because since then, he never wanted to fry any more kuey teow (Men!).

Normally I will fry the kuey toew with shrimps and cut the scallion in 2 inches length unlike the one you see in this picture. But today, I only have some chopped scallions in the refrigerator.

Uh hum...Sorry, the recipe for my fried kuey teow is family secret. However, if you do a search, I'm sure you will find the recipe on the web. :P
