Final Notes
Final Notes
This classic Shanghai fried noodles can be easily found in most Shanghai restaurants in Hong Kong. This dish isn’t really Shanghainese at all. It was originated with Shanghai immigrants into Hong Kong in the 1950s, many of whom set up Shanghai-style restaurants, adapting dishes to suit local tastes.
