Fried Mee Sua 炒面线

Mee Sua is a very thin variety of salted Chinese noodles made from wheat flour. It is originated from Fujian, China. But as a Teochew, my family also love this noodle so much. In Chinese culture, mee sua signifies long life, serves as traditional birthday food.
In this recipe I am not using traditional mee sua, but using fried mee sua instead.
In Singapore fried mee suah is easily found at any noodle and tofu stall at the wet market.
To prepare it, cook mee suah separately from the topping.
