*Wok-fried rice noodles (Char kway teow) [Cheong Liew OAM]

from The Great Australian Cookbook: The Ultimate Celebration of the Food We Love from 100 of Australia’s Finest Cooks, Chefs, Bakers and Local Heroes (page 228) by Helen Greenwood

  • pork back fat
  • flat rice noodles
  • lap cheong sausages
  • garlic chives
  • prawns
  • fish cakes (I substituted basa and ocean trout)
  • dark soy sauce
  • light soy sauce
  • bean sprouts

WOW. This is my favourite version of the 3.

MRS B: “Loved the dish. The basa trout and prawns livened by the tiny morsels of Italian sausage.”

Note. I finally got the induction wok to get serious hot. Instant fire when I poured in the oil. (Ignition point of vegetable oil is 406C. So it got to that temperature within seconds). Just had to wait until oil burnt out. Takes a while. I have now got the fire blanket and fire extinguishers out of storage!

Char Kway Teow (version 3) This recipe is from Cheong Liew OAM (The Grange, Adelaide) from The Great Australian Cookbook. The recipient calls for fish cake. I substituted cubed Bassa and Ocean Trout. I liked it better than the previous version with mussels. Note. I finally got the induction wok to get serious hot. Instant fire when I poured in the oil. (Ignition point of vegetable oil is 406C. So it got to that temperature within seconds). Just had to wait until oil burnt out. Takes a while. Note to self: Get the fire blanket and fire extinguishers out of storage.
