A thread that seems to show up through all of these particular foods is that, with few exceptions, they don't need additional cooking when served. This includes all the types of sausages (Italian, Polish, and German varieties, which all can be stewed with other ingredients before serving), the Greek gyro (a phenomenal take-with-you food), and various side dishes including noodle and potato dishes. French fries are probably a good starting point for doing a carnival food because they require preparation (cutting) and need to be served not long after they are cooked (or else they're disgusting). Now I'm no expert in stir-fried noodles, but I see that as being quite similar to your situation (though you have to actually combine ingredients instead of just salting potatoes). Probably what you want to do is prepare your noodles by doing the soak, then reserve them. Precook all your vegetable elements, and mix your seasoning/sauce into just a single element. Then you can quick-fry all of your elements to order (noodles, other bits, and sauce), or you can make them 5-10 at a time and place them in a warming pan (we use electric roasting pans here but use what you can) or under a heat lamp until you sell them. In the second case you may have to throw out any finished dish that sits for more than 20-30 minutes, but if your volume is sufficient that won't be a problem. Wish you the best of luck with this, and I'd like to see a recipe for the dish because I am unfamiliar with what goes into it.

If fry on demand..then all the best ah....but if you can do a whole kuali full of it, at least you wouldn't be slaving over the kuali the whole day..

Easier and it will make it more even. The vegetables and other stuf can fry together. Then, you mix the 2 together and fry for awhile Lilian, you can mix your beehoon well with the tomyam sauce and fry it. Easier and it will make it more even.
