I was out working since the morning overseeing some cleaners hired to clean out the place before passing keys to tenants this weekend. In between I did grocery shopping at the nearby Giant Hypermarket & realised veggies were very cheap there& fresh too! Some green leafy veg where selling at RM0.49 a bunch. Mind you the bunch is small but enough to feed 2 pax I think.
So while everything has gone up in price, at least some bare necessities can still be very cheap.
In between, I also did other errands like fetching my son from Nursery & sending him home, go post office to get my petrol rebate, buy some DIY stuff etc.
By the time the cleaners where done, it was 5.30pm! I hadn't seen much of the kids the whole day. Rushed home and had to prepare dinner for the family too! What to cook? Why Fried Been Hoon (vermicelli) of course!
I forgot to take photo ( too tired ). The success of frying Bee Hoon is the actual Bee Hoon quality. Will share with you another day when I remember what Brand it was.
There are many variations to Fried Bee Hoon. Really depends how you like yours. This is the common standard Fried Bee Hoon in my MIL's hse.
Ingredients :
4 bunch Bee Hoon (soak in water to soften it at least for 2 hours)
1/4 Cabbage (cut to desired size~ some like them in chucks, some in shreds)
1/4 Dried Sotong "Cuttlefish" (soaked & cut to tiny pieces)
2 Tbsp Har Mai "Dried shirmps" (soaked & chopped)
2 Tbsp Garlic minced
8 medium size Prawns (chopped into bite bits)
4 pieces Dried / Fresh Shitake Mushrooms
Seasoning:
1 Tbsp Dark Soya Sauce
2 Tbsp Fish Sauce
1/2 tsp Sugar
1 tsp Salt
3 cups Water
3 Tbsp Oil
Method :
1. Heat oil in wok and fry the garlic, har mai, dried sotong, prawns and then add your cabbage.
2. While frying, add 3 cups of water. Allow it to boil a bit with all the ingredients.
3. Next add the seasoning and keep stirring. Then add your Bee Hoon. Fry it abit and then allow it to boil a bit (cover the wok).
4. Use chopsticks to try to untangle the Bee Hoon and by this time, the water would have already been soaked up by the Bee Hoon.
Garnishing:
Fry plain omelet and slice thinly. Place them at the top of your Fried Been Hoon.
Ready to serve.
