Lor Mee
Lor Mee is a hearty Hokkien noodle dish featuring thick yellow noodles bathed in a savory, starchy gravy thickened with eggs and cornstarch. The lor, or braising sauce, is deeply flavored with five-spice powder, soy sauce, and garlic, and the dish is topped with braised pork, hard-boiled eggs, and crispy fried fritters. A generous splash of black vinegar and garlic chili sauce at the table transforms each bowl into a tangy, aromatic feast.
