Mee siput muar (Jawi:مي سيڤوت موار), or simply mee siput, is acracker which originated from and is commonly available inMuar, Johor, Malaysia.[1]
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 circularspiral pattern to resemble the shell of asiput, orsnail inMalay.[2] They are dried in the sun before being deep-fried in cooking oil until crispy and crunchy.[3] The ready-to-eatsnack may be served with condiments likesambal,chili paste or chilisoya sauce.[4] Beside its spiral snail-shell shape which has contributed to the name of mee siput,[5] the so-calledsnail noodle cracker also has a crispy texture similar to the light, brittle feeling of a snail shell once it breaks in the mouth.[6]
In present times, the factory and machinery producedmee siput mostly were not made in the traditional "snail shell" form, but rather in a randomly swirled pattern due to mass production for durability, efficiency and commercial reasons.[7]
