What is Hokkien Mee

Hokkien Mee, in the Penang context, refers to a spicy soup of mee (egg noodles) and bihun (rice noodles) in a stock made from prawn, dried shrimp, pork ribs or chicken stock. It is a popular Penang hawker food. Hokkien Mee is garnished with sliced boiled eggs, sliced prawns, kangkung (water spinach/morning glory, water convolvulus, Ipomoea aquatica), fried onion, with a dollop of chilli paste. Hokkien Mee is popular at hawker stalls during breakfast and lunch time, but is also found in some places during dinner.

Outside Penang, Hokkien Mee is called Prawn Mee, or Hae Mee, where the name "Hokkien Mee" itself refers to a fried noodle dish which is similar to Penang's Hokkien Char.

Ingredients of Hokkien Mee:

  • egg noodles (mee)
  • rice noodles (bihun)
  • bean sprouts (taugeh)
  • pork ribs or chicken stock
  • prawns
  • eggs (boiled and sliced)
  • fried shallots for garnishing
  • water spinach (kangkung)
