Fried Bee Hoon

 
Hello my friends,

A thousand apologies! I have been super busy and could not find the time to update my blog. Nevertheless, here I am again with another recipe! Since some of my friends have been requesting me to upload a recipe for fried bee hoon, I shall do just that!

Having used Thermomix for 3 years now, I normally cook without weighing the ingredients and seasoning first and use my 'gut feel' instead. For people who seldom cook or have never cooked before, this might be a bit of a challenge at first (e.g. How much salt and pepper to add or how much vegetables to put).

Hence, I will put some quantity to each ingredient here. However, these quantities are just a rough guideline. Taste is a personal thing and it all depends on your preference on how salty/oily, how much vegetables you prefer. I normally prefer my fried bee hoon with 3/4 of the dish being vegetables and 1/4 being bee hoon. Some might prefer it the other way around. Whatever the case, it all depends on your personal preference and you can adjust the ingredients accordingly. So have some fun with it!

Ingredients :

200 g Bee Hoon (Rice vermicelli) - Soaked in water for 20 mins or till soft

150 g Cabbage (Cut in strips)

80 g Carrot (Cut in strips)

30 g Chye Sim (Optional)

2 pcs Dried Mushroom (Soaked in warm water till soft then cut in strips)

2 cloves Garlic

Seasonings:

When the bee hoon is soft, drain away the water and season with the following:

1/2 tbsp Sesame Oil

2 tbsp Light Soy Sauce

1/2 tbsp Dark Soya Sauce

Dash of pepper

Directions:

1)  Place garlic into TM bow to chop - 6sec/speed 6

2)  Scrape down the garlic and add mushroom and some oil to saute - 3min/V/R/speed soft stir

3)  Add cabbage and carrot to fry - 2.5min/V/R/Speed soft stir

4)  Add chye sim, seasoning and bee hoon to fry while using spatula to stir - 4min/V/R/Speed soft stir

Note: Some bee hoon are more coarse, this can cook for 4 min.  Some bee hoon are finer (e.g. Organic bee hoon) these can cook for just 3 mins.

Enjoy!
