Fried Bee Hoon Perfected
As you all know.. i’ve been frying up fried bee hoon of late.. most times.. it’s good.. and other times.. just mediocre.
Yesterday.. i fried some bee hoon up.. really late.. coz’ i was tired of eating soupy beehoon with tom yum paste. It was late.. but this is by far one of the best .. i’ve cooked. I added fu-chuk in it too.. the ones that Gerald Leblanc got for me.. from Halifax. I think the real secret in making good fried bee hoon is the shallots. I had fried up alot of it.. with loads of oil.. and used it liberally while i was frying the beehoon last nite.
I know it lacks color.. but i can’t find towgay or baby bok choi.. so had to make do lor. So yup.. if you wanna fry up good fried beehoon.. alot of shallot and its oil.. is a must.




Mmm..the smell of shallots is the best!
Hey..Vien,
I love it too..!! but seems so oily..

here we add up a lil pork stock, and yeah i agree, shallots make it tastier.
Hey.. Girlie/Hipmomma,
Hmmm…. a lil’ pork stock..
that would certainly make it more tasty..
i would try that if i get ahold of some pork stock in the future..
i love the shallot..just hate frying them .. that’s all.. hahha!! too oily..

Fried Bee Hoon has always been one of my fav dish..and yours looks yummy!
Hey..Eileen,
My favourite too.. to be honest..
i especially like the breakfast beehoon we get in the kopitiam.. with condiments.. that we can choose from.. but a good fry beehoon is hard to find in Singapore..
some are too soggy.. or some too oily..!

How about adding some cabbage, beef slices and prawns?
Hey..DR,
No cabbage.. chloe doesn’t like beef .. nor prawns.. so i am again left to play around with very little ingredients..

Bee Hoon goreng with fried egg like tat is my favorite too..hehe..simple taste good..
Hey.. Msau,
Yalor.. mine very simple.. wished i had more vegies to put in it. Even with the fu-chuk hor.. i used as little as possible.. so can stretch the food.. for cooking next time..
so pitiful hor..??? you see lar.. i never used to think these ingredients that are so easily gotten in Singapore.. can become so precious like gold.. here..
