Fried Noodle Mamak

This was my first attempt and it turns up perfect...taste great and my husband comments was "wow, it taste real good" ....well, that is truly motivating!

The Penang locals call it Mee Mamak. This recipe is originated by the Indian-Muslim in Penang. It is simple as there are not many ingredients to add in, just need to apply a little frying skill to ensure the noodle has the right consistency, not to dry or too wet. I have turn it to a "vegetarian style" by excluding the prawn fritters, as again, being a lazy mum, prefer "no-fuss" ingredients.
