I didn't know that Sarawak also has similar dish
My family always loves hor fun, so I knew that I had to try this dish when I saw Veronica from Peng's Kitchen cooked this dish
What you need:
900g fresh kway teow
2 tbsp dark sweet soya sauce (kecap manis)

3 tbsp cornflour mixed with 2 cups of water
2 tbsp tomato sauce
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp oyster sauce
2 tsp dark sweet soya sauce (kecap manis)
1 tsp pepper
dash of sesame oil
To marinate the chicken and squid:
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tsp wine
- Marinate chicken and squid and set aside
- Prepare kwayteow by separating with cold water
- Heat oil and fry kway teow briefly on high heat

Overall, we love this dish, but yes, it's rather to the sweet side a little

ReplyDeleteNever heard of this sarawak tomato kway teow before! Looks delicious! Cannot remember whether have I eaten this in Kuching last year....!! :)
ReplyDeletea quick and easy meal :)
ReplyDeleteYou are right, this looks like our seafood hor fun. I love this dish but home cooked just lack that "wok" taste.
ReplyDeleteHehehe sweet! Next time I will just omit the sugar :p
ReplyDeleteAt one glance I thought this is the "watan-hor" but it's different as I read through the recipe. It's sweet with tomato flavor whereas "watan-hor" is savoury :)
ReplyDeleteYou make me wanna try it out (tomato-sauce fan here!) instantly.
Miss kway teow! The soup looks filling and delish!
ReplyDeleteI love kuey teow and have been meaning to make this! Looks delicious, Alice!
ReplyDeleteAlice, this look so delicious! I could wollop two plates!
ReplyDeletei remember the first time i saw in fb, i thought it's like wat tan hor ( fried noodles with egg gravy) it really looks delicious!
