How to Make Kueyteow Sup Ayam (Traditional & Healthy Version)
Kueyteow Sup Ayam is a beloved Malaysian noodle soup, known for its light yet flavorful broth and comforting appeal. This dish, rooted in the multicultural fabric of Malaysia, combines silky flat rice noodles (kueyteow) with a fragrant, clear ayam (chicken) broth infused with local aromatics like daun sup (celery leaves), daun bawang (spring onions), bawang putih (garlic), and halia (ginger). It is a staple in many Malaysian homes and hawker stalls, particularly enjoyed during lunchtime or as a hearty afternoon meal. In this vegetarian adaptation, the heartiness of the original is retained using plant-based protein and a vegetable broth enriched with local herbs such as pandan and serai (lemongrass), creating a dish that’s both nutritious and soul-warming. The soup is light yet packed with umami from ingredients like light soy sauce and a hint of white pepper, making it a popular choice for those seeking comfort food with a healthy twist. Served piping hot and garnished with bawang goreng (fried shallots) and fresh herbs, Kueyteow Sup Ayam is a testament to the diversity and health-conscious spirit of Malaysian cuisine.
