I had a pretty decent Fried Beef Kway Teow at Maggie Thai & Chinese @ Liang Seah Street. It was moist with a lot of wok hei flavour just like our regular Char Kway Teow but somehow I felt it could be more balanced with a little less sweetness to it.

I adjusted the amount of seasonings used in my Char Kway Teow Recipe to kinda replicate it for this recipe in which I used less kecap manis so the savoury taste could stand out more. I could have added bean sprouts for that extra crunch but I used only chye sim this time. Simple ingredients with big flavours; an economical tze char meal that’s so easy to make. Enjoy my Fried Beef Kway Teow Recipe!
