    Check out this fun and entertaining couple re-creating my recipe on their UA-cam channel, iChang RM, • We made The No.1 "Pena... posted on 26 March 2022
    This is my home version of a famous Malaysia street food, in particular, most popular in Penang called Penang char koay teow, a simple stir fry rice noodle. Penang char koay teow has been around for more than a century and the uncle and aunty have been cooking from a young age and most of them are now between the forties and seventies. They would have learnt their skills from their father or mother, and before that their parent's parents. Like most food cooked by different people, the taste and flavour can vary no matter how similar the ingredients are used. There is always a family secret in making the sauces to stir fry the char koay teow, and the skills from years of making hundreds of plates a day. In my video, I will show you how I make my version at home. Not quite the same as eating at one of my favourite Penang char koay teow, cooked by the uncle and aunty in Penang, but good enough for a homecooked char koay teow.

    Happy New Year Victor. You are sooo right about the fish sauce and fish cake! My usual test of a Malaysian Restuarant in OZ to order CKT. The closest I have come to is a side shop in Adelaide doing KL style food that uses lard. 20 years ago when I first arrived in Australia and the internet was still young, I had a recipe that was very close. Lost it!! But it had ikan billis in the chilli paste and the chilli paste was cooked. My fav CKT was a an old lady in Gelugor near USM who had a very small cart and used an aliminium pot (it was not a wok). She did one at a a time; lard, garlic, two prawns, koay tiau, sauces, egg and beanspout and of course the cockle. She is probably cooking for some Chinese god up in the heavenly kitchen now :) Thanks for the memories.

      @foodtripwithvictor  3 роки тому +1

      Hi @Jeyadev Sreedharan...wow! Thank you for sharing your story. Love it...especially your memory of the aunty who was cooking near USM. Interesting tip you have given me and the viewers in the chilli paste, especially using ikan billis! That would make the chilli paste even more aromatic and pungently fragrant. Definitely if I am using ikan billis in making the chilli paste, I would fry it first and jar the paste so it can be used at any time. But the taste would be slightly different from my home version. That is why some of the CKT stall in Penang can vary significantly because of their secret ingredient the aunty or uncle adds into their sauce mixture..and of course, their lifetime skill in making CKT, which is their only trade. I really respect them..for making Penang CKT world famous. Cheers, Victor

    This is as close to Penang Char Koay Teow as I know it. I spoke to many hawkers and viewed many videos the key success factors I believe for an excellent plate of CKT are these:
    1. Right mix of sauce(many hawkers seem to think this the main determining factor)
    2. Technique in the frying including:
    a. the size of the flame ie the how hot the wok is, a very high flame is preferred.
    b. How you toss the Koay Teow, quick tossing is the norm and very thorough mixing of the Koay Teow with the sauce.
    c. sequence in adding in your ingredients, your seq. is good.
    d. type of oil use, incl pig fat.
    too much talking on my part. Enjoy your Koay Teow, well done.
    BTW you must be from Melb., cos I know the brand of Koay Teow you use.

      Hi @tean tan...thank you for dropping in again and offers your knowledge of wisdom to share with my viewers. Totally agree with you...the 2 CSF (critical success factor) in a good CKT in Penang is the sauce mixture and the skills in frying the CKT.
      Yes, I live in Melbourne. Not much choices for us living overseas when it comes to buying fresh koay teow..I would have preferred the koay teow slightly narrower than the one I used in the video. In Penang, which you probably would know, the koay teow is not that "fat"! LOL!

      Talking on what is most important in a good plate of CKT, to me it had to be the freshness of the Kway Teow. Once the KT had been refrigerated.. it's never the same texture anymore. We're lucky in Sydney as I would check out the grocery shop on which day is their fresh KT delivered. All for the best results. :) :)

      Talking about watching how the hawkers make the CKT. I watched carefully on my last trip, quite recently only last week. I tried 3 different hawkers, and all 3 have their own style of frying the CKT. Ha ha. Never the same. I guess that is why it still vary from one CKT to another CKT even in Penang. :) Cheers, Victor

The place you took us to near the market near Tanjong Bungah made some of the best I've had in Penang as well. Thank you for posting your recipe! I've been making the one from Rasa Malaysia, but I notice they use fish sauce. and also sugar. I'll have to try it without--your sauce is simpler, and it's so important to the authenticity of the dish. Also, for some reason it is really hard to find fresh long red chilis here in Colorado. I am going to try Fresno chilis instead, but usually I just use sambal. It's not the same, but I wonder if sambal with some shallots mixed in would do a decent job?

    • @foodtripwithvictor
      @foodtripwithvictor  3 роки тому

      Hi @Dan Hensley...thanks for leaving your comment. I still remember your visit to Penang and lovely to meet you and your family. An authentic Penang CKT depends on 2 things - the sauces ie soy and chilli, and of course the skills of the stall vendor, which is something we can't replicate. They have been making CKT for all their adult lives! A master of CKT. Definitely no fish sauce...why on earth so many videos out there claiming to be Penang CKT use fish sauce really baffles me. Can you taste fish sauce in an authentic, traditional CKT in Penang? No! As for the chilli paste, I suggest using shallots, it gives a slight delicate, sweet flavour to the chilli paste. Sambal (which I assume you are referring to sambal with a bit of belachan in it) is different and gives your CKT a slightly different flavour..but, to make your own CKT at home you can adjust and make your twist to your own taste. Cheers! Victor

So it could be that simply adding fresh shallots to it will make it a reasonable alternative if I can't find fresh chilies. And yes, we'll never be able to replicate the mastery of the stall vendors, but it's worth trying :-)

      @@danhensley4403 I remember using sambal oelek in my stir fry especially fried rice a long time ago. I agree it’s a good alternative if you can’t find fresh red chillies. It’s more of an Indonesian style since sambal oelek is an Indonesian sambal paste, and in Indonesia I am sure they have their own version of “koay teow goreng”. Also, If you’ve dried chillies, you can also try making your chilli paste using only the dried chillies and leave out the fresh chillies. Try that and see if there’s any difference.

The chef was a young Tom boyish lady, look no more than 21 years old. Is she still there? Is she still cooking the old fashioned way, individual plate at a time?

It is always congested in the Air Itam township, especially during peak hours, long weekends, and holiday seasons. The area there has changed a lot if you haven't been there for the last 10-15 years. But Rifle Range flats are still there. Cleaned up and repainted from what I've heard. It is still a food haven with plenty of choices and authentic Penang street food for die-hard foodies. I don't really go there. I am not able to tell you whether your CKT cook is still there. Hopefully another Penangite who is reading this will have the answer. Cheers, Victor

    Hello Victor. Thanks for sharing your take on Penang CKT. Note your criticisms about adding oyster sauce and fish sauce. I've done this before and it does bring out the 'umami' flavour that is missing in absence of a really hot wok and fresh ingredients. TBH, if you are true to the historical roots of CKT you should be cooking over charcoal, not a gas hob!

    • @foodtripwithvictor
      @foodtripwithvictor  4 місяці тому

      True true…cooking with charcoal flame. It’s a rarity these days even to find local Penang CKT using charcoal flame. We can still get a good wok hey with gas flame but missing the smoky flavour. Personally I’ve not tried adding oyster and fish sauce in my CKT. But I’ve tried with a dark caramelised soy sauce which works well.

      Charcoal is hygroscopic, so dry it in the sun before trying to light it, especially if stored too long. For ignition I use a blowtorch (!) and a hairdryer. Can also sprinkle lighter fuel, but I find it smells. Keep up the good work 👍.

    Beautiful, this was one of the first Asian recipes i learnt to cook 2 years ago from Marions Kitchen and School of Wok so please forgive me as i learnt to cook i compared recipes then added fish sauce and oyster sauce for the sauce. But this is what i love, out of the foods Ive been learning like Uncle Roger says its the right ingredients not the white ones. I don't want to upset Thai, Chinese, Malay, Korean, Vietnamese or Neplai ancestors 😂 so ill see if i can find the soy you mention and make my own sambal as yours looks amazing.
    Your videos are good, i like to see ones like yours and like World Food Paradise as they are more homely and made like at home which is good.

That is part of the fun of cooking. If you watch my latest video, I admitted to the eggplant dish that I have make the first time in Penang, using an induction stovetop and not a frying pan. I am more used to cook on a gas top with a wok if it is for a stir fry. Oh, I apologised to my viewers that that recipe didn't work for me! I think we need to stay true to our cooking, whether it works or it doesn't. It really doesn't matter. We need to have fun in the kitchen. Sometimes I failed in making something the first time that I have in my mind on how I wanted the recipe/dish to turn out and it was completely a disaster! But I will try again and adjust a few things to make it perfect the next time. Cheers, Victor
