Treat your ingredients with care...

Tuaran noodles — Cook the noodles according to the package instructions, but make sure not to overcook them as they should have a slightly chewy texture.
Chicken breast — Thinly slice the chicken breast to ensure it cooks quickly and evenly.
Bean sprouts — Rinse the bean sprouts thoroughly and remove any brown ends before adding them to the dish.

Tips & Tricks

For a spicier kick, add a teaspoon of chili paste or sriracha sauce to the stir-fry.
Customize the vegetable selection based on your preferences and seasonal availability.
To make it more filling, add a fried egg on top of each serving.
If you prefer a vegetarian version, substitute the chicken with tofu or tempeh.
Garnish with chopped spring onions and a squeeze of lime for an extra burst of freshness.

Serving advice

Serve the Tuaran Mee hot as a main course. It can be enjoyed on its own or accompanied by a side dish or salad.

Presentation advice

For an appealing presentation, arrange the stir-fried noodles and colorful vegetables on a plate or in a bowl. Garnish with chopped spring onions and a wedge of lime for a pop of color.
