Fried Mee Hoon (Indian Muslim Style)

This recipe is inspired by the way we cook string hoppers (putu mayam). Many people enjoy string hoppers with grated coconut and brown sugar. We, however, prefer it with curry. When there is no curry or when there is a lot of string hoppers left over, it gets fried with eggs and finely shredded vegetables (carrots, beans, cabbage).
