Hokkien mee is a popular noodle dish originating from the Hokkien people of southern China, particularly Fujian province. It features thick yellow noodles stir-fried with a mix of ingredients, including prawns, squid, pork, and vegetables. The dish is often flavored with a rich, savory sauce made from soy sauce and sometimes includes a hint of chili for added spice.
In Malaysia and Singapore, Hokkien mee has evolved into different regional variations. The Malaysian version is typically served in a dark soy sauce with a broth, while the Singaporean version is usually stir-fried with a lighter sauce and served with a side of sambal chili. Both versions are beloved for their unique flavors and textures.
