Hi Neha loved the recipe!!could u let me know which brand of sesame oil u use…..
Hi, Thnx. I use a local brand called Idhayam. You can use any brand. They are all the same.
Just wondering, can I sub the noodles to Hor Fan instead? Instead of the yellow noodles, I would like to try it on other varieties.
Thanks for sharing!
Yes sure, you can.
