Kuay Teow Kua Gai is a wide noodle dish stir-fried over very high heat with chicken, eggs and soy sauce. The blazing wok cooking technique gives the noodles a characteristic smoky flavor called "wok hei". The noodles are slightly crispy on the edges and tender in the center. The dish is simple but mastery of heat is essential for the perfect texture. Served with fish sauce, sugar and chili powder.
