Fried Beehoon (Singapore style)

Description:
Another one of my favourites, easy cooking, but lovely taste recipes by my friend Lalani, who is now learning to become a chef....


Ingredients:
Beehoon
Chicken filet or Pork filet
Prawns
Leafy green vegetable (e.g. Chye sim)
Carrot
Bean sprouts
Shallots
Garlic
Chicken Powder
Cooking Oil

For the Marinade:
Oyster Sauce
Sesame oil
Pepper

Directions:
Cut the meat into slices and marinade with the oyster sauce, sesame oil and ground pepper.
Clean the prawns and take of the skin. Marinade as well.
Slice the carrot into thin long strips (a la Julienne).
Clean the green vegetable and slice the stems into strips and the leaves separate.
Clean the bean sprouts.
Finely chop the garlic and shallots.

Heat the oil in the wok and add half of the chopped garlic and shallots. Fry until brown.
Now add the Beehoon and fry the beehoon. While frying, keep stirring it with a “spaghetti spoon” so that all the beehoon gets equally fried. After few minutes, take out the beehoon and set aside.
Now fry the remainder of the garlic and shallots. When garlic/shallots turn brown, add the meat and the prawns.
Now add the vegetables to the mixture and stir fry. Add some more oyster sauce.
Add chicken powder to taste and bit of boiled water.
Add the beehoon to the mixture and mix and stir well with a “spaghetti spoon” so that all ingredients get mixed well into the beehoon.

Ready to serve!
Serve with Chili padi in soy sauce.
