Hokkien Mee is a beloved dish in Southeast Asia, particularly in Singapore and Malaysia. This iconic stir-fried noodle dish has its roots in the Fujian province of China, where Hokkien people migrated from. The dish features thick yellow noodles, stir-fried with a rich, savory sauce made from prawns, pork, and a variety of aromatic ingredients. The key to a great Hokkien Mee lies in the wok hei, the breath of the wok, which imparts a smoky flavor to the dish. In Singapore, renowned hawker centers like Newton Food Centre and Old Airport Road Food Centre are famous for serving up delicious Hokkien Mee. The best versions of this dish are characterized by the perfect balance of umami flavors and the smoky aroma from the wok. Chefs who have mastered the art of stir-frying the noodles over high heat are highly esteemed for their skill in creating this delectable dish. For those looking to recreate this dish at home, sourcing fresh prawns and using the right combination of sauces and aromatics are crucial for an authentic Hokkien Mee experience.
