Fried Bee Hoon

 Hello all 

I haven’t written a post for quite long 

Recently I have been cooking and baking again and my family likes the fried beehoon 

Ingredients to use 

Bee Hoon 1 packet is 400 gm I used about 200gm 

2 eggs beaten with a tsp of light soy sauce and some white pepper.

1 small can button mushrooms - drain the water away and rinse and dry them 

About 2 inches of carrot peeled and cut into strips 

2 cloves of garlic peeled n sliced 

Cabbage sliced into strips

Light soy sauce 

Cooking oil for frying 

Non stick wok is good for stir fry 

Sauce for beehoon

For this recipe my tablespoon is the spoon we use to eat rice 

Oyster sauce 2 tablespoons 

Dark soy sauce 2 tablespoons 

Salt about 1/2 tsp

Sugar about 1.5 tsp

Put the sauce ingredients in a Chinese rice bowl n top up with water up to 4/5 height of bowl and mix well 

Taste can be adjusted after tasting beehoon 

Method 

1. Soak beehoon with tap water in a large plastic basin till soft around 15 mins then drain away water. 

2. While beehoon is soaking, prepare sliced garlic, carrots , wash button mushrooms , slice cabbage and beat eggs. 

3. Heat wok and add in cooking oil

4. Turn heat to medium and fry garlic and carrots for about 30 seconds and add in mushrooms . Drizzle light soy sauce in about 1 tsp . Fry another 20 seconds and add in cabbage . Fry till button mushrooms are slightly browned and cabbage softened. Remove from wok and set aside.

5. There should be some oil left in the wok . Use this oil to cook the eggs. Remove cooked eggs and shred roughly for use later. 

6. Remainder oil if not enough , add a little more and put in beehoon . I stir the beehoon around a little and add in the sauce. I used my long chopsticks and spatula also.

Immediately stir the beehoon round and try coating all the beehoon with sauce . At this stage observe if beehoon become too dry, add in a bit more oil. 

7. Taste the bee hoon. Adjust seasoning if necessary . 

8. Dish out into casserole and top with the fried ingredients 

9. My fried egg served separately .

10. Optional to serve with fried firm tofu and ketchup or chilli .

Please note my beehoon is on the drier side . You may add more water during cooking process if you want it wetter.

I saved some for lunch the next day and added some hot water to the beehoon and microwaved for 3 minutes .

Happy cooking !
