Koay teow th'ng

Koay teow th'ng is the gentle, clear noodle soup that Penang's Hokkien families eat for breakfast at the coffee shops of Kimberley Street and around the old George Town markets. The broth is simmered from pork and chicken bones, and the bowl holds silky flat rice noodles, bouncy fish balls, slices of fish cake, little nuggets of minced pork and lean pork slices, finished with fragrant garlic oil, a pinch of preserved cabbage and plenty of white pepper. Chef's tip: just warm the fresh noodles through; boiled, they break into short pieces.

Vegetarian char kway teow

Char kway teow is the dish Singaporeans queue for at hawker centres like Old Airport Road and Zion Riverside: flat rice noodles and yellow noodles tossed over a roaring wok with dark sweet soy, egg, beansprouts and chives until smoky and sticky. The classic uses lard, cockles and Chinese sausage; this vegetarian version gets its richness from fried tofu puffs and plenty of garlic, and its char from a very hot pan. Chef's tip: cook one or two portions at a time; a crowded pan can't get hot enough for the smoky wok hei that defines the dish.
