About this dish

Mee siput muar (Jawi: مي سيڤوت موار‎‎), or simply mee siput, is a cracker which originated from and is commonly available in Muar, Johor, Malaysia. Mee siput muar is traditionally and originally hand-made of flour dough which is rolled, stretched into long noodle-like strips or strings before being swirled in a circular spiral pattern to resemble the shell of a siput, or snail in Malay. They are dried in the sun before being deep-fried in cooking oil until crispy and crunchy. The ready-to-eat snack may be served with condiments like sambal, chili paste or chili soya sauce. Beside its spiral snail-shell shape which has contributed to the name of mee siput, the so-called snail noodle cracker also has a crispy texture similar to the light, brittle feeling of a snail shell once it breaks in the mouth.
