- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

- 1 teaspoon sugar

- 1/2 cup chicken or seafood broth

- 1-2 tablespoons sambal chili (adjust to taste)

Instructions:

Prepare the Noodles: If using fresh Hokkien noodles, briefly blanch them in boiling water and drain. If using dried noodles, cook according to package instructions and drain.

Cook the Pork: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the pork slices and stir-fry until they are browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

Stir-Fry Seafood: In the same pan, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the garlic and onion, and cook until fragrant and translucent. Add the prawns and squid, and stir-fry until they are cooked and just starting to turn golden. Remove and set aside with the pork.

Combine Ingredients: In the same pan, add a bit more oil if needed and toss in the noodles. Stir-fry for a minute, then add the bean sprouts and spring onions. Stir well to combine.

Season: Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, and sugar. Add the broth and stir to mix everything evenly. Allow the mixture to simmer for a few minutes until the sauce is absorbed.

Add Protein: Return the cooked pork, prawns, and squid to the pan. Stir everything together until well combined and heated through.

Serve: Transfer the Hokkien Mee to serving plates. Serve with a side of sambal chili and lime wedges for a spicy and tangy kick.

Enjoy your homemade Hokkien Mee, a perfect blend of seafood, pork, and aromatic flavors!
