Notes

By deep frying it, you can store this longer outside the fridge.
Best to cook a thick saucy gravy with all your favourite ingredients like prawns, fish meat, fish balls, chicken ,vegetables and pour hot sauce over the fried sung meen.

delicious..!

If you preferred a non deep fried version, just cook this batch of noodles, al dente..then the usuals with your favourite recipes.

I wouldn't have thought of frying it, but making pumpkin noodles is genius!

oooohh...Daphne

this pumpkin dough can be used in so many ways..like a skin for wrapping meat fillings, fried or steamed or baked.
