Cooking Tips

• Your choice of rice noodles is important. I include the brand name of the one I used in my recipe
• I used the curry powder that is used by local restaurants in Hong Kong, so the flavour is really authentic. I also write down the brand for you.
• Don’t over cook your egg. I hate over cooked egg. Taste bitter.
• Use hot water to soak your rice noodles and then cover with a cloth to let it rest. The texture is a lot better.
• Use low heat when you mix the seasoning with the noodles. Then turn up the heat to stir fry it properly.
