Hokkien mee

Hokkien mee is a dish usually consisting of round wheat noodles and thin rice noodles that are fried together with prawns, eggs, pork, and bean sprouts. While they stir-fry, all the ingredients are coated in a flavorful stock usually made from prawns, pork, and other types of seafood. Standard additions include fish cakes, prawns, squids, spring onions, pork lard (optional), and chives, while sambal sauce and lime are typically served on the side. The exact origins of the dish are believed to be among the Hokkien community, a dialect group that mostly came from Fujian province. It is said that the dish was invented at Rochor Market and that it was initially known as Rochor mee, only later gaining its current name. Although a similar dish with the same name exists in Malaysia, it is significantly different than the classic Singaporean version.
