TASTY FRIED YELLOW NOODLES WITH TOMATOES

This is a Chinese grandmother style home-cooked fried yellow noodles.  Not my grandma or mum.  My family style fried yellow noodles is without tomatoes or mushrooms.  We used prawns, meat slices and a must have ingredient is crispy fried shallots popularly known for this noodle 'Hokkien Char'.   It is awesome.

This means that we can fry yellow noodles according to this recipe either with prawns, meat, tomatoes and mushrooms and serve it with sambal belacan or cut chillies.
