Ban Mian... BUT HALAL!!!
this is seriously comfort food worth making at home!
we recently caught up with @thepantryboy to learn to make Ban Mian from scratch and the results were amazing! the handmade noodles were a huge plus and lended an edge of rusticity to the dish. however, if rushed for time, storebought fresh ban mian/ u-mian noodles work perfectly well.

Lor Mee (but Halal) - my HALAL-ified rendition of a classic Hokkien noodle dish
A while back, I had the chance to cook with a friend from Converts Central, Kaven Siddique who converted to Islam at the young age of 20. Siddique and I wanted to surprise his mother and grandmother by cooking a ‘halal-ified’ version of a Chinese dish that he enjoys eating. The first thought that came to his mind was Lor Mee, a food he hasn't eaten for …
Wanton Mee... but HALAAL~
this recipe may take some time to prepare with the different components in it. however, it is worth the effort!
