Soy Sauce Fried Bee Hoon Recipe

This fried mee hoon recipe is very easy and quick to prepare and has become one of my family’s favorite noodle dishes. This recipe uses 4 type of sauce or soy sauce for the preparation of the gravy but all these ingredients are easily available in stores and supermarkets in the sauce and soy sauce section.

The choice of protein is entirely up to you, you can use such beef, chicken, shrimp , squid, etc.. Among the tips I shared was to use cold water to soak the mee hoon instead of hot water. Although hot water will soften the bee hoon faster, but hot water will react with the starch from the mee hoon and can cause the mee hoon to stick. This complicates the process of mixing the noodles during frying later.

Ingredients

400g Mee Hoon (soak with cold water 30 minutes)
200g beef (thinly sliced)
200g shrimp (remove the head and skin)
9 cloves garlic (pounded)
5 birds eye chili (smashed)
50g cabbage/mustard
3 tablespoon of oyster sauce
7 tablespoons of sweet soy sauce
4 tablespoons of thick soy sauce
5 tablespoon of soy sauce chair
1 tablespoons white pepper
4 tablespoons of sesame oil
1 teaspoon of sugar

Method

1. Heat some cooking oil in a pan. When the oil is hot, sauté the mashed garlic.
2. Then add the chili. When the garlic starts to turn yellow on the edges, add the meat and turn up the heat.
3. Add the oyster sauce, sweet sauce, thick soy sauce and liquid soy sauce.
4. Add 400ml of water ,1 tablespoons white pepper and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Stir until well combined and increase the heat. Wait until the gravy boils.
5. Now add the noodles that have been soaked and poured with water. Mix well. The noodles will absorb part of the gravy and expand slightly.
6. Do not mix too much to avoid the bee hoon breaking up to much.
7. Add half of the sesame oil first, and mix well.
8. Now add the prawns. Shrimp are included at the end of the cooking process to prevent the filling from hardening.
9. When the shrimp has changed color to red, add the cabbage and mix well. To make this process easier, I use two spatulas like this. Turn and turn the noodles with a spatula.
10. Add the remaining sesame oil. This will make the mee hoo more shiny and attractive. The noodles are ready to be served and garnished with slices of red rice chili.
