Wanton noodles … better known as wantan mee is a Cantonese noodle dish. Make sure it’s fresh and of good quality (not too thin).
These are the sauces used to toss the cooked wanton mee……. Notice it’s quite flavourful!
The plump sui kau to put in the soup to serve along side the wantan mee.
Pickled green chillies is great accompaniment to the wantan mee ……. It’s a MUST when eating wantan mee.
A good plate of wanton noodle is usually defined by the quality of the egg noodles used and the sauce that gives the primary flavoring to this heavenly plate of noodles.
This wanton noodles is springy and good with a nice lard fragrance. Really awesome!
AS ALWAYS …… ENJOY!

What is dark caramel sauce..?? do you buy it by that name or is a mixture of other sauces
Yes, you can buas it is in most grocery stores. Can’t miss it in any Chinese or Asian grocery store. It’s also called dark soy sauce, thicker & darker than light soy sauce, adds color to food. Hope it’s clear
