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 .
