I have just retired as a Finance Manager and started cooking again in early 2020, which is during the COVID-19 period.

I remember this Fried Noodles dish fondly as a child, growing up in a Chinese village. Pork was served only during festivals like the Chinese New Year or significant events e.g. my Grandmother’s birthday. We add a bittersweet vegetable which my family used to grow in our garden called sayur manis. All my siblings love this vegetable.

After the pandemic’s relaxation, my siblings had numerous family gatherings and I would always prepare this dish as it is well-loved by my siblings.
