I must be in a spicy mood recently, I threw this dish together as I had some fresh noodles sitting in my fridge that were begging to be used and I just bought some curry powder from the same Indian store where I found my beloved curry leaves! This is so easy to throw together, and I decided to add some shrimp and chives to the mix. If you want more heat in your dish, add some bird's eye chili peppers to saute together with the garlic. I did not add the peppers while cooking and decided to sprinkle some atop my noodles. These noodles will be great served with some lime on the side as well.
After whipping this up, I think this resembles the a popular fare at the Malaysian Mamak food stalls in Malaysia, the Mee Mamak - except that mine did not have the requisite dried tofu strips and egg stirred in. I can't wait to visit Malaysia next Chinese New Year and go to one of my favourite Mamak stalls, Rajoo's in Petaling Jaya.
