Traditionally, this South Chinese dish was served to the labourers as a cheap sauce of energy and nutrients. But the version here has evolved to include a sweet molasses-like soy sauce blended with fish sauce as a basic flavour profile. It is now a national favourite in Singapore. The flat rice noodles (kway teow) are stir fried with eggs, Chinese sausages, bean sprouts, light and dark soy sauce, chives, blood cockles, crisp croutons of pork lard and chilli (optional).
