In my household, creating fried noodles or any noodle recipe is essential.

First of all, it’s quite a convenient and fast recipe compares to cooking rice with multiple dishes. And with the busy schedule, it’s quite handy to keep this kind of recipe.

Secondly, my husband is a person who loves noodles, so naturally, I would experimenting and making a different kind of noodle in my kitchen.

Thirdly, this type of noodle recipe is a gem. I have been eating this since I was a little kid. It’s started when my father bought us after coming home from a late-night shift as a minibus driver. Again, naturally, it sticks with me.

So, I hope you will enjoy this recipe as I do. Try it when you have time.
