    Love how this turned out. I tweaked it a little bit and added cabbage and also fish cake instead of tofu. Finished with spring onions and fried shallots on top. Totally delicious! Thanks Bee.

    1. Rasa Malaysia says:

      Your dish looks amazing. I really like the substitutions you did. Thank you for such the kind words.

  2. Josh says:

    I made this tonight and have to say it turned out fantastic! I made 1.5x the amount of sauce which made it saucier at the end :) thanks for the recipe!!

    1. Rasa Malaysia says:

      Awesome!

  3. Pennie says:

    Thanks for this delicious recipe. A local service organisation I’m a member of had a Malaysian dinner this evening, as part of our international studies for the year, and I made this to share. Everyone loved it, and I’ll definitely be making it again.

  4. KIm says:

    * Sorry, it’s Sambal Oelek! I loved travelling through Malaysia and I was fond of a lot of the foods I ate. It’s such a nice blend of cultures and I love the Malay language. I’ve been trying to remake some of the dishes and searching for a few recipes online. I love squid and I’m excited to make this one! :)))

    1. Admin says:

      Thanks.

  5. KIm says:

    Hi Bee,
    I’ve never crushed chilli peppers before and I don’t really know what kind to buy in Toronto. Could I substitute Samal Oelek for the chilli paste? Is it the same thing? Thanks for your help!

    1. Rasa Malaysia says:

      Yes you can.

  6. Mo says:

    Hi Bee, I’m a long time fan of your recipes. I previously enjoyed your Malay Mee Goreng recipe, which I believe was by a guest poster, but I cannot seem to find it on your site anymore. Please could you re-post this recipe?

    1. Rasa Malaysia says:

      Hi Mo, sorry I don’t have that recipe anymore. Do try this recipe!

  7. J says:

    I tried making this dish and my noodles were all clumpy and stuck together. Do you have any tips?

    1. Rasa Malaysia says:

      Loosen the noodles first before cooking, and use a pair of long chopsticks will help.
