Fishball noodles dish with Chinese noodle characterized by its fat, thin or flat and yellow appearance, varying in thickness and width. The dish is of Teochew origin and is commonly served in a number of countries such as Chaoshan (China), Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. Noodles is commonly served tossed in a sauce (often referred to as "dry", or tah in Hokkien (Pe̍h-ōe-jī: ta)), though sometimes served in a soup (where it is referred to as "soup", or terng). Meat and vegetables are added on top.
Noodles can be categorised into many variants, fish ball mee (yu wan mian ) or other form of noodles such as vermicelli noodles or yellow noodles and mushroom minced meat mee pok , mee pok is a thick flat noodle .( bak chor mee). Bak chor mee is usually exclusively prepared using thin noodles ("mee kia") thin noodle while yu wan mee can be cooked with other noodle varieties.
Fishball noodles is a staple commonly offered in hawker centres and coffee shops in Singapore, together with other Chinese noodle dishes.
Fish Ball noodles sauce
The sauce in which the noodles are tossed in is a very important aspect of the dish, and is considered a representation of the cook's skill and experience. The importance of the sauce in fishball noodles can be thought of similarly as the sauces that accompany pasta.
The sauce consists of 4 components: chili, oil, vinegar and other condiments such as soy sauce and pepper. The chili is made from various ingredients and its preparation often includes frying and blending. Oil, traditionally lard, ensures a smooth texture in the noodles, although vegetable oil is sometimes used as a healthier though less tasty version. Vinegar is added for its sourness, and diners may specify how much vinegar is used.
The chili sauce may be replaced with tomato ketchup for children, who are uncomfortable with the spiciness of the chili.
Soup
Soup is served in a bowl as a side dish accompanying the "dry" variant, or served together with the noodles for the "soup" version where the sauce is omitted. It's sometimes stew with anchovies or pork bones for its rich soup base ,

Usually, the noodles are factory-made, and requires substantial preparation before cooking. Different hawkers prepare and cook their noodles differently, but the desired outcome is the same: springy al dente noodles.
Hawkers often toss the noodles vigorously to remove excess flour and soda and to separate noodles which have stuck together. Other processes include stretching the noodles, cutting into a desired length, and separating into serving portions.
The cooking process of the noodles consists of blanching in hot and cold water multiple times, though some hawkers omit the cold water. The noodles are drained and placed in either sauce or broth.
