🇸🇬 Singapore recipe

Bak Chor Mee

Bak Chor Mee is one of Singapore's most popular noodle dishes, a Teochew creation of springy egg noodles or mee kia tossed in a pungent dressing of vinegar, chili, and lard, then topped with minced pork, sliced pork liver, meatballs, mushrooms, and crispy fried fish. The dry version is the most popular, where the noodles are tossed in the sauce before the toppings are piled on. Every mouthful delivers a hit of sharp vinegar, numbing chili, and savory pork.
