Simplified Vegetarian Dried Pawn Mee

This bottle of Vegetarian Penang Pawn Mee Paste (from Friendly Vegetarian Supplier) comes handy. If you want a quick dried noodle dish, just used it together with vegetarian belacan powder , oil and toss well with blanched cooked yellow noodle/hokkien mee. I added some toasted vegetarian belacan to give it a more robust tasty, omit this if you don’t have any on hand. You can add some water convolvulus/kangkong, if desired.
