How to Make Kuewtiaw Soup with Seafood (Traditional & Healthy Version)
Kuewtiaw Soup with Seafood is a beloved Malaysian lunch dish, offering a heartwarming bowl of flat rice noodles (kuewtiaw) in a clear, aromatic broth decorated with fresh seafood and local herbs. Originating from Malaysia’s multicultural culinary heritage, this recipe highlights the harmonious blend of Malay, Chinese, and Peranakan influences. The light yet flavorful soup is typically enjoyed in bustling kopitiams or by families at home, showcasing the use of local ingredients such as daun pandan, serai (lemongrass), and daun bawang (spring onions). The taste is clean and refreshing, with a gentle sweetness from seafood and the subtle fragrance of pandan and lemongrass. This dish is a great choice for health-conscious eaters, as it relies on natural flavors without excessive oil or coconut milk (santan), making it lighter than many other Malaysian soups. The clear broth, paired with tender kuewtiaw, is low in calories yet high in taste and nutrition, perfect for lunch or a light dinner. The recipe can be easily adapted for vegetarians, highlighting Malaysia’s adaptability and respect for dietary preferences.
