Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Chinese
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 200g bee hoon (rice vermicelli)
- 1 cup mixed vegetables
- 2 eggs
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 cup sliced chicken or pork (optional)
Instructions
- Soak the bee hoon (rice vermicelli) in warm water for 5-7 minutes until softened. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
- Prepare all ingredients by chopping mixed vegetables into small, uniform pieces. If using meat, slice chicken or pork into thin strips.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large wok or wide frying pan over medium-high heat. If using meat, stir-fry it first until it's cooked through and lightly browned.
- Push meat to one side of the pan and crack eggs into the empty space. Scramble eggs quickly until just set but not fully cooked.
- Add mixed vegetables to the pan and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they become slightly tender but retain their crispness.
- Add drained bee hoon to the pan, tossing and mixing with vegetables and eggs. Spread ingredients evenly across the pan's surface.
- Pour soy sauce and sesame oil over the bee hoon, continuing to stir-fry and mix thoroughly to ensure even seasoning.
- Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until bee hoon is heated through and slightly crispy.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove from heat and serve hot, garnishing with additional chopped green onions if desired.
Tips
- Always soak bee hoon in warm (not hot) water to prevent overcooking and maintain its delicate texture.
- Prep all ingredients before starting to cook - this ensures a smooth, quick stir-frying process.
- Use a wide wok or pan to give ingredients enough space to cook evenly and develop a nice, light crispiness.
- Don't overcrowd the pan - this helps vegetables retain their crunch and prevents soggy noodles.
- For extra flavor, consider adding garlic or ginger during the stir-frying process.
- If you want a vegetarian version, simply omit the meat and add tofu or more vegetables.
- Sesame oil is key for authentic flavor - don't skip this ingredient!
