Maybe some of you will think noodles or pasta, haha ​​you could say this is one of the two, right? However, in our area, we often call it kuetiaw. Kuetiaw itself is a type of noodle which is processed in a similar way to noodles using rice flour without animal ingredients so it is very safe for vegans. Kuetiaw is flat and clear in color, so it is very interesting to look at. Well, because the process of making it from kuetiaw rice flour is a good substitute for rice for our people.

Tiaw cake itself is usually sold wet by people of Chinese descent from our area until now. However, as times change, now there are lots of dried kuetiaw like the one I use. So we have to process this dry cake straight away and it can't be stored for long. Therefore, I deliberately bought a large pack of dry ones yesterday when I visited the mall in my city. Well, it's very difficult to find dry cakes like this on the market. So it can be stored for a long time, besides, if you want to make it later, just process it as you like. Well, usually this Tiaw cake is prepared by adding eggs or something similar. However, I will make it different, with a simple preparation that I often call kuetiaw Belacan. Unfortunately, this time I'm just manipulative with the Belacan because the Belacan isn't vegan.

Tiaw Belacan cake is a simple preparation, to which I add my special spicy spices. As well as adding kale and cabbage as supporting ingredients in preparing this kuetiaw. Actually, this is the kw version of kuetiaw because the use of non-vegan ingredients such as shrimp paste in the Belacan noodles is important. However, I skipped this ingredient by replacing it with other ingredients used. I thought this wouldn't be bad, after all balacan noodles usually always use kale.

I'm curious about the taste, sis, I've never tried making it, this is a great idea for a snack 😊

Usually kuetiaw is synonymous with adding eggs. but you don't need to doubt the taste, just add vegetables and the taste is also tempting.

I'll try it another time sis😊
