Vegetarian Fried Kway Teow

Wendys Kitchen's Note:

This is a very simple rice noodle dish. It is my family's absolute favourite. It was given to me by a Malaysian friend. I use fresh flat rice noodles from the Asian supermarket. You can use the dried rice noodle but it needs to be soaked in water until soft (about 15 minutes or so). If you like spicy you can add chopped chilli to the garlic/ginger fry up.
