- Penang Char Kuey Teow was numerously requested. Here is a simple Char Kuey Teow recipe with tips to make a perfect plate of Char Kuey Teow with the taste of slightly charred noodles.
www.nyonyacook...
In almost every video, I get requests asking me to whip up “Char Kuey Teow”. Secretly, I have been attempting this dish quite a few times. I was asking myself how difficult could it be when it is all about stir-frying some rice noodles with a few other ingredients. That was exactly where I was wrong as I found out it could be quite tricky.
Let’s just say that the pronunciation of Char Kuey Teow is already a little tricky for non-Cantonese speakers. Just click the video above if you want to hear how it is pronounced exactly.
Preparing a plate of Char Kuey Teow just like in Malaysia not only requires the right ingredients but also the correct techniques. I found that it is better prepared in small amount: 1 plate at a time, unless you have a big wok to work with or you are a true professional. The noodles would turn soggy if too much sauce is poured all at once.
To fry Char Kuey Teow, the noodles have to be cooked at high heat. That is why you need to be fast at stirring the noodles or else they might be burnt. A slightly charred taste is all we need for these noodles to have the smoky taste and flavour for which they are famous for.
You may add chopped preserved vegetables, blood cockles or even fry the noodles using pork lard. You can enjoy it with some raw sambal belacan and a bit of lime or calamansi juice. Whichever way you like it, a plate of Char Kuey Teow brings the taste of home to every Malaysian.
The recipe for the chilli paste Cili Boh can be found in our extensive library of time-tested recipe ideas.

Hi, I'm a Malaysian student in Czech Republic. Thank you for sharing videos on authentic Malaysian cooking. Your methods and ingredients proved that we can cook Malaysian dish almost as good as the ones that we can get in Malaysia. I am really grateful that you shared the tips on how to substitute some ingredients to suite the ingredients that we can find here which is quite limited. Thumbs up and keep up the great work!
I’m a Singaporean living overseas and my all time favourite comfort food is Char Kuay Teow. My ideal type of CKT is one with lots and lots of blood cockles and an extra egg. So thankful to have come across your recipe because I have been craving CKT for the last few days... I will definitely try this recipe soon. Thank you so much for sharing! :)
Penang Char Kuey Teow. The best dish I have had in my life.
wow, i've seen multiple other youtube videos on CKT and yours is by far the best! all the others are missing the wok hei and yours is totally on point!! love it!!
We do lots of tests for our recipes. If you do give it a try, post a food snap :) www.nyonyacooking.com/recipes/penang-char-kuey-teow~r1DzuvivfqbX - Admin
I have to admit, the first thing I do whenever I'm at a new Malaysian restaurant overseas is to try their CKT first. Force of habit I guess ;)
never EVER order CKT from Chinese shops or shops that advertise to be "ASIAN". Non-Malaysians just don't know how to make proper CKT
I just made this and it was delicious! Thank you for the great recipe. I lived in Malaysia for 3 years and have been missing this dish ever since I left. So excited to be able to re-create it :)
Love it! From Penang to everywhere!
I remember eating this as street food when in Malaysia. Brings back some nice memories. :D
Me too. Though I hate to admit it but the best I had was when I was living at the Westin Stanford in Singapore. Everyday I ordered from service for this dish with green pepper slices.
I spent several months in Penang over many trips. I enjoyed every meal I had at the hawker centres. Fantastic food! Char Kway Teow is definitely one of my favorites. I remember going to the market with the mother of my good friend, Kheng Lip. Mrs. Lee is a dynamo. She would come armed with pots, leave one pot at one vendor with specific instructions (I'm assuming). Then go to another vendor.... Let me tell you... The food was actually crawling off the heap! Quite an experience! Anyway, Great show, thank you!
Tried this recipe today and it’s super yummy.. thank you ❤️
Did you take a photo? If you did, do upload it as a food snap on your nyonyacooking.com profile ;)
Trimakasih mbak resep kwetiao nya yg selama ini membuat aku penasaran akan bumbu bumbunya makasih ya mbak terus berkarya dan berkreasi dg hati yg memberkati.👍🤝💪🙏🙏
Grace, I am from Taiping, CKT was always my favorite hawker food. In my time a plate at the Casual Market cost only 30 sen WITH cockles. Now Cockles cost an arm and leg. A plate can set yo back RM 7 to 8.00. I have since several years back, learnt to fry CKT and I must say, it taste even better that some stalls. Thanks for the memories
Fantastic!!! A scorching hot wok and fast hands, now that's real East Asian cooking !!! I usually order this or chicken rice at Malay restaurants . I made this for myself and my dad following this video the other day and I have to say...it comes close to about 80% of the taste in the restaurant. Although I substituted the kuey teow with chow fun that I got from a friend (I cut it to small square pieces) and I used Chinese cabbage instead of bean sprouts. Thank you !!!
Spot on advice for the home cook, and better than most restaurants outside of Malaysia. Only minor quibble is to let the egg set a little longer before stirring.
I do not know why,but I love your accent. Of course your cooking too.
Got email notification and back to check out my fav Malay chic lol. Another reminder of an amazing staple dish Grace - will for sure again attempt to make it this weekend! (Last time the noodles were too moist and disintigrated into paste *yuk) Thanks so much for the recipe :).
+Ken Lee Follow the tips and you should be able to have a great CKT! :D All the best and share with me the outcome. Hehe!
Excellent recipe. Thank you.
This hair color looks real good on you, and the apron is so cute!
Thank you 😊
I’m going to make it very soon. Thank you for sharing Char Kway Teow.
Once you do, post a photo on your Nyonya Cooking profile! - Admin
simple and easy, but enough to impress family. thx
This looks absolutely delicious! I've never tried char kway teow before, but all the ingredients are something that I know I will enjoy. Going to try this soon.
Thank you! I miss having Char Kuey Teow when I lived in Australia where there were some Malaysians. There are not enough Malaysians here in California to have Malaysian restaurants that serve Char Kuey Teow but thanks to you I feel like I can try cooking it myself!
Thank you for this, cooked it tonight and really enjoyed it
Thanks!! Now I know where I was going wrong, I was making Thai "Kii Mao Gai", but I could not get that texture right, that's because I was adding 1KG of noodles!!! (as I cant be bothered making it every day), but understand now "One plate at a time" is how to get the best flavor. Bless you lovely kitten.
Thank you for posting how to make Char Kuey Teow. I am going to try your version this weekend.
+James Jeyaraj Please do!! :D
My favorite dish. Will try, looks so simple when you're organised with the ingredients. Thank you.

Wow you are better than those Singapore channel I search. Thanks alot Grace
I am visiting Malaysia next Spring, so I was eager to simply learn how to pronounce this popular dish that I had read about. Thanks! Now I can order this in a restaurant and be understood. BTW, you are quite lovely to look at, and pleasant to listen to.
Look very good and easy I am going to try this noodle to night for dinner. Thank you. your cooking make it easy for Malaysian food.
+John Parker My pleasure!! Did you already try it?
+Nyonya Cooking yes, ask my two friends of mine to taste it an give an honest comment they both say it was Devine .
You are a life saver. I love your videos and try your recipes. Thanks so much!
"Kiss of wok" = very hot wok. Saw that somewhere (lol). Love this dish.
Thank you for sharing this recipe. I made Char Kway Teow for lunch and my Penang husband is so impressed. I substituted Chili Boh with fresh chilies and it still taste amazing.
Hehehe ;) He's such a lucky man! Do you have a photo of it? You've got to share your comment with our community through your Nyonyacooking.com profile. It's free :D

hi pretty sister! this is one of my fave dish 😍 and your recipe is looks soo simple and amazingly deliciousss. i'm gonna try your recipe tonight for myself, mom, and grandma too. go ahead your vlog and it would be inspiring me ❤ thank you so much for the recipe. you're so pretty and kind~~
i made this last weekend , and it really tasted awesome..
Always love ur video, always clear very well done. Hmmmm.. I used to help a friend father at his stall I think almost 20yrs ago.. Ur recipe is pretty much close in fact. But of cos my is like a Singapore version haha... Yep! U didn't miss out fish sauce in fact!!! N for pepper for as long as I know the pepper belongs to as wat they call the teochew cha, they sprinkle the pepper after its done. Oh yes need a little water while cooking juz to smoothen the noodles... Locally here they mix the rice noodle n yellow noddles.. 😊 prawn n fish cake can be added in when almost half done as prawn is easy to get cook. As for fish cake actually it will be stir fried with a little fish sauce juz for preparation. Cockles will be the last after the sweet dark sauce has stir in the noodles.. Oh yes no sugar as it will turn bitter when it's burn (u will add in the sweet dark sauce n tats sweet 😃). Cockles last as the noodles is hot.. U let it cook slightly by the heat from noodles 😅 Happy cooking!!
Gordon Yap I like the the rice noodle and yellow noodle varient as well, too different texture on a single plate.
wow!Thanks 4 sharing ur char kway teow recipe...looks yummy.shall try out ur recipe 1 day!
This looks delisious!
You look slimmer. Surely, you are good in many things. How come I don't see any new travel programs from you? Anyway, thanks for the simple recipe. Hope I can cook a great char kueh teow dish. thanks
Thank you so much
Thank you for providing this delicious CKT recipe! I used exact ingredients but sparingly on the sauce. Tastes so good!
Thank You Very Much !! I wait for it for a long time !!
best food I had in Malaysia .loved it 😍😍
can't believe i'm watching a Malaysian cooking channel when it's based in Germany, because i'm in Germany as well !!
servus.
zhixi koay me too .. I was surprised when she mentioned Germany cos I am staying in Germany too
also in germany haha. Missing that Char kway teow and mamak food fix here :/
I miss eating Malaysian food... And thank you so much for the recipes. It's very helpful! BTW, you're sooo gorgeous! Very pretty even just wearing a light makeup. Take care and looking forward for more recipes :D
Very nice stalls very good food and lots of nice food to eat healthy food thank you for sharing Bless you good video .
I followed this recipe down to a tee and result was perfectly charred kway teow. I used hor fun which I think is essentially the same as flat rice noodle. Tried second time round with left over ingredients I tried recipe with egg noodles instead. Result was more mamak mee but delicious nonetheless.
I love char kway teow! It is very delicious. Will try your recipe soon
I like ur videos simple and straight to the point. Just subscribed!🙄
I've had this dish since i was little (Macau, HK, and U.S.), and it's always cooked with curry powder. So basically this is like a thick-noodle version of Singapore fried noodles. I think 老抽 is good to add color to a dish too. It's less sweet and has the same consistency as light soy sauce.
What u had is not Char Kuey Teow, it’s something else
I love this too.. must try
You are so great cooker simple but useful
looks delicious! looks like the one I eat in my preferred malaysian restaurant in NYC!
+Vicki Wong YUMS! Planning to make some at home? :P
Looks good! I love char kway teow, especially when visiting Singapore, which includes the blood cockles. Lor 9 Geylang Famous Beef Kway Teow, in Singapore’s red light district, was particularly good, with nice wok hei. Unfortunately, I have trouble with the flat rice noodles breaking up during the cooking, which makes it look less appealing, though the outdoor high-pressure propane burner I now use and a well-seasoned wok lets me achieve hawker stall-level wok hei.
i tried this today & it turned out well! thank you so much for sharing this recipe!
+suzy sujji You are fast!!! :) Thanks for trying it out!
Nyonya Cooking i was craving for char kway teow so i decided to make this as soon as you uploaded the recipe. Hope to see more videos from you soon!
Sure! Share a photo the next time you've tried some recipes. Would so love to see it
Tried this and it's so yummy! Thanks for sharing your recipe!❤
Hi thank you for sharing the recipe. Can you please tell me how much rice noodles is in this recipe? Thank you!
Oh man, loving the CKT so much! Thanks for sharing:)
+Zhong Billy Welcome :D Try it out!
Excellent❤
😊 my favorite meal
Love ur recipes. Btw did u migrate to Germany?
I loved eating Char Kway Teow in SG
nyonya cooking hello from malaysia... really love n enjoy your cooking. keep it up and looking forward to ur next video👍👍
I read some comments about char kway Teow in Singapore below. Yes, Char Kway Teow is just as popular in Singapore as in Malaysia. Top Char Kway Teow Hawkers are well sought after in City State. Just Google "TOP 5 Char Kway Teow in Singapore" and you will find them. They cost as little as SGD 3 (US$2) a plate.
And for blood cockles, you just need to go to Google, select "Images" and type "blood cockles" and you find lots of pictures. A word of caution -as with many shellfish, they can cause hepatitis A if not well cooked. Ask for them to be well cooked or get a hep A immunity jab.
it's so easy and yummy.
I use frozen cockles in uk ...can't find the type of kerang we have in Msia...
Missed the CKT with cockles and eggs from old town Ipoh Malaysia after viewing this...
about the fish sauce, there is fish sauce made in Malaysia
Impressed by the inclusion of fish sauce into the sauce mixture but the wok needs pork cracklings and fat. That's why the CKT looks a bit dry.
Add fried lard, it will
Take it to next level.
That’s right! We also have the recipe to making pork lard here www.nyonyacooking.com/recipes/crispy-pork-lard~yqNognftE - Admin
Thank you for the recipe and tips😊
Wow! delicious. thanks
what the heck is a blood cockle, oh googled it, its kerang lol
+Ammar Yusof lol...kerang la. Not a fan though.
+Nyonya Cooking oh really, I love kerang , my mum used to make me open lots of em before cooking char kway teow lol. thanks for the recipe!
I know many who enjoy them. I'm okay if they are already in the noodles but when possible, I avoid them :P They aren't available here in Germany, anyway. Hehe
Lmao... You've made my day... 😂😂😂
This looks even better than the some of the ones sold at my local vendors. This looks great but however I'm very firm on having pork lard in char kuey teow. Health concerns aside to me it is what makes charkueyteow so delicious!
+cottoncandyflossful Haha I have to agree! I'm not so fussy with having pork lard in my CKT but only Hokkien Mee >< Nevertheless, I hope you enjoyed the video :D
+Nyonya Cooking Oh yes hokkien mee is another dish that pork lard is a must! I have tried hokkien mee without pork lard it just doesn't taste good..
+Nyonya Cooking oh and i enjoyed every video you posted :p
Thanks for the support
hey your link is not working. i found it in your website thou. thanks
This looks really good! I like stir-fried rice noodles very much, but I haven't tried the Malaysian version yet :)
+TeddysCooking Now that you've seen it, you have to try it :D
Hi, a question, is there a special name of the Chinese sausage if I buy them. In the Asia Shop in Germany?, thank you
Thanks for sharing your version of char kuey teow. Tried just now for lunch and it turns out well. Very well indeed. And I've added some sweet sauce (tee chnew) at the side as well.
+Victor Tan Nice
+Nyonya Cooking I did take a picture and looking a way on how to post it here. Can't seems to upload it here.

+Aireyn Mata Please do and send me a pict on the website :D
wow!!my madam like this so much..
Wah I need to mark this receipt. Tks
This looks so cool. I'll cool this
Thank you Grace for another great recipe. You have missed out "egg" in the ingredients list above, though it is included in the video:).
+george ng My pleasure, and yes, I need to add egg in the list. Thanks for reminding!
Can you get Petis Udang in Germany? I cant get them here in Norway. Do you know how to make it?
I am going to try
You made me hungry Grace! 😩 haha thumbs up! 👍
+Dibo Yay!! Glad I did. Hahaha
Hi, I have been following your receipes recently. I made the curry chicken and char kway teow last night. had a lot of compliments from the family, especially the char kway teow. Please continue to share recipes. I'm from Singapore by the way so this dish is so relatable :D By the way, could you come up with fried carrot cake recipes.
thank you so much for the recipe, yummy👍😋
Quite unusual to add chili paste in the char kuay teow, but it looks good.
Worst food poisoning experience of my life was from seafood char kway teow in Penang. Guess what I had the first day of recovery? Char Freaking Kway Teow. Yes it is that delicious.
+Amir A. Sabbagh LOL! I had to chuckle at this but yes, I can imagine :D
Bit like "hair of the dog" only in food form.
Ha ha! I believe it.
Grace, I think I had something like this when I went to Malaysia but the name is different it's called Singapore noodles. Thanks for the recipe I will make this for sure, I like recipes that you can tweak to your own preference.
I think SGP noodles is completely different from this.. The noodles are thinner and it has a hint of curry flavor to it
Oh yeah that is right I totally forgot about the hint of curry, Thanks! :)
+"prettycraftygirl" This dish is the Malaysia classic, very different from Singapore noodle, the ingredients, spices and noodle choices are different, but they are same fried and need the 'char' flavour
+CL Yin +joyjoyoo Thanks for the info!! Love it when we are sharing the information here
ate this in malaysia is was delicious
