Singapore Fried Beehoon

Tried cooking bak kut teh with real bak kut (pork-bone section), thanks to my aunt who packed some and let me bring back during hols the other day...heehee. Cooked it at night cuz thought it'd be nice to have it for breakfast but mana tau QJ sneak up to me and ask "Eh...can eat tonight?" So...we had bak kut teh for supper. That's a first :D

Had bak kut teh for 1 1/2 days in total. Was my best attempt for now but still, it was more 'lauk' than soup initially...until I added water after having supper and reboiled it longer. Still....the one in Melaka Raya's better IMO. Sigh. Jeles jeles.

Anyways!....Here's the Singapore fried beehoon recipe I mentioned the other day. Gonna fry again tmr... XD

Singapore Beehoon
Ingredients

300g rice vermincelli/Meehoon (soaked) **I used only 200g and 2 ppl can't finish it. I'd recommend using 200g vermincelli with the following measurements of the rest of the ingredients below
1 egg (beaten)
1 stalk Chinese sausage (shredded) ** I used chicken meat...cuz I don't really like chinese sausage in my fried beehoon...a little more than quarter of a chicken breast should do
50g shelled prawns ** I din put. Din buy..haha. Added in shredded fishcakes instead.
50g cabbages (shredded)
50g big onion (shredded)
1 red chilli (shredded)
100g beansprouts
15g Chinese chives/spring onions (sectioned)

**cabbages/beansprout optional...but recommended for more veggi goodness :D
