Chow Fun (Chao fen)
>> Sunday, 8 June 2008
Sorry for the late posting - I am in a different time zone, literally!
Last week a comment was posted on Stabroek News' online edition encouraging Guyanese to try making Chow Fun, a dish the reader stated, "... tastes great." So, for this week's column, I thought that I'd take up the challenge of making this dish as I am big fan of Chinese cuisine. Read the column for my take on this dish and the challenge of making the rice noodles.
For those of you interested in trying the dish yourself, I used the recipe outlined by the commenter. See the column.
Below, is dried rice noodles cooked with dried shrimp and green onions. Simple, quick, easy and delicious.
I am going to be away for a few days. Next week's post will come to you compliments of Blogger's pre-publishing feature :) I look forward to catching up with you and your creations when I return.
Have fun!

WOW Cynthia! This is not only gorgeous and delicious looking but extremely impressive with the from-scratch approach. I wish I was having this for lunch!
This looks fantastic, I bet I could make with rice noodles!
That first one looks so tempting - so much vibrancy in all the veggies! If I ate meat, I would be hunting this down :)
I have tagged you dear...chk out my blog for details.
Noodles from scratch. Hats off to you!!
I have been craving Chinese food, and this looks fabulous! I hope you have a great time on your time away!
Have a great trip! Off anywhere exciting?!
Cynthia I have passed two awards to you plz make sure to pick it up.
Both dishes look delicious, Cynthia!
Even if it is a non-vegetarian dish, i love to scan your photos Cynthia. They are too good and crisp. Very nice. Viji
Those noodle dishes look tasty! The colors of the green onions and peppers make them look even more inviting to taste. :-)
Both of these dishes look delicious! Home cooked Chinese is so much healthier as salt and sugar can be contolled.
I hope you had a pleasant trip!
absolutely gorgeous, cynthia! have a great trip!
This is my mans favorite. I but the noodles, but now you show me I can make them!
Hi Cyn,
I LOVE Chow Fun and I had no idea the noodles were made like that. I really must try it. Gorgeous dish as usual.
woooow, they looks fantastic. I would love to make the vegetarian versions of them sometime. Your pictures are so perfect, a good source of inspiration for me :).BTW, I am hosting a ONE DISH MEAL EVENT, I would love for you to participate. The details are in my site.
Incredible. You can cook anything. That's what I love about passionate cooks - they'll try anything and master at it. Noodles look great and make my stomach growl. Thanks for sharing.
