I love chow fun and all those dim sum dishes with noodles — yum yum! The hardest part of Asian dishes is navigating the Asian grocery store to find what you actually want. You might know you need to get “black soy sauce” but there are so many to choose from! I’m happy to say that for this recipe, there’s not too much to do. For me, the two hardest ingredients to find…
