Fry the tofu and potato in a hot wok until lightly golden, then push everything to one side.
Scramble the eggs in the cleared space until just set, then break them up.
Add the noodles, ketchup and chili powder; toss hard to coat everything, 2 minutes.
Add the tomato and bean sprouts in the last 30 seconds, tossing just to soften.
Squeeze the lime over everything and toss once more.
💡 The ketchup is not a compromise — it IS the mamak signature.
Serve immediately, mamak-style — this noodle doesn't sit around.
The mamak stall's flying spatulas produce a noodle that belongs to no single tradition — Indian technique, Chinese noodles, Malay sambal, and a squeeze of colonial-era tomato sauce.
