Stir Fried HK Noodles with XO Sauce 港式XO酱炒面

I was contemplating on a trip to HK recently, yes you heard it right, HK again ! LOL. And so coincidentally when I spotted these HK noodles going on sale at NTUC, it somehow seems to be calling out to me.

So over the weekend, I decided to stir fried these noodles with XO sauce. If I am not wrong, XO sauce seems to originate from HK too, so that makes it all the more complementary for these noodles all together. 

There isn’t many variations of local stir fried noodles, and so this is indeed one of my favourite kind of noodles. Whenever we dine at Crystal Jade or Canton Paradise, this is liked one of the must-order dish without fail. 

Amazingly, it is not that difficult to beef up. I love the qq and tender texture of the noodles after stir fried and a good oyster and XO sauce provides for that savouriness of the dish. I added some sliced pork for the extra meaty stuff and compiled with some greens to balance up the dish. Oh yes, beansprouts is a must must for this dish. The crunchiness of the sprouts will blend well with the noodles and the dish taste absolutely delicious when they are eaten together.

So here’s to sharing this fuss free and really economical noodles which costs only a small fraction of the price as compared to enjoying this dish at a restaurant yet sharing the same taste !! LOL.
