I wonder if anyone of you out there, ever tried the famous hot & spicy
fried bee hoon at
Durian Tunggal, Melaka. Its a very old wooden shop where they served only drinks and simple hot & spicy
fried bee hoon. There's actually nothing much in the vermicelli, just some bean sprouts, egg & loads of local bird eye chilies. However, that is enough to make it addictive ! The aroma is amazing. This shop was introduced by a friend to hubby but I only been there for once. The shop was closed during my last few visits. Bad luck I guess ! Hubby was shocked when he saw the medium size lorry filled with vermicelli loading down to the shop during his first visit. He didn't expect their business is so good. The shop owner will normally stock up hundreds of kilo vermicelli weekly, which is just nice to fill up one lorry. And I have tried out the recipe of my own during my last camping trip, making this hot & spicy
fried bee hoon in the middle of the jungle. LOL.
So, here's what I did.
Ingredients :
500gm rice vermicelli, soaked till softened
2 eggs
handful of julienne cabbage
handful of julienne carrot
1/2 sliced onion
1-1/2 TB chopped bird eyes chilies
1/2 TB chopped garlic
1/2 tspn vegetable granule
3 TB light soy sauce or to your taste
salt & pepper to taste
1 cup water
Method :
(1) preheat a big wok or frying pan with 1/3 cup cooking oil.
(2) saute garlic till fragrant then add in eggs and fry till cooked.
(3) next, add in chilies & vermicelli and stir till everything is well cooperated, continue cooking the vermicelli over medium heat till fragrant. Add water gradually if needed.
(4) Then add in granule, soy sauce, salt & pepper to your taste and continue cooking till well mixed.
(5) finally, add in the remaining vegetables to mix well. Off the heat, and serve hot.
I did most of my cooking on the ground. Yet I still keep it clean & tidy. LOL.
I prefer the clean & sunshine look of the
fried bee hoon which without the dark soy sauce. And the aroma is absolutely fantastic ! It has to be the bird eye chilies, nothing else but the local bird eye chilies. Trust me, you're going to love them.
