Cook’s Note

  1. For most of Chinese style mei fun dish, we recommend Taiwanese thin rice noodles (新竹米粉). You can try to search it in local Asian stores. If that variety can not be found, this Vietnamese Rice Stick can be a good substitute. It is quite important to know that the cooking method or time might be slightly different based on the brands. Remember to read the package firstly.
  2. Compare vegetables and meat with lots of tissues helping absorb flavors, mei fun itself is blank evenly after cooking. Ground spices can stick to the rice noodle and make them quite tasty.vegetarian chow mei fun|chinasichuanfood.com

  1. Hey there,

    This is one of my favorite dishes in the whole world!
    Love anything in a bowl, like Anthony Bourdain.

    Cheers!

  2. One question, why is Chinese Five Spice repeated twice above?

    ½ tsp. Chinese five spice powder, then again down the list ¼ tsp. Chinese five spice powder?

    Thanks!
    Jenn

  3. Looks like we’re supposed to add dark soy sauce in the instructions but it’s not listed in the ingredients list. How much do we need to add?
