Yen Can Cook: Stir Fried Noodles with Soy Sauce

Stir Fried Noodles with Soy Sauce 豉油皇炒面 (“See Yow Wong Chow Meen” in Cantonese) is one of the dishes that I frequently heard from the Hong Kong drama series (TVB drama series to be precise :P) which I’ve been watching since my childhood days. This fried noodles is normally served as breakfast and it can be found in dim sum restaurants or street hawkers.

Usually this type of egg noodles is used for this recipe however I couldn’t get it, the nearest I can get was the flat version.
