Fried Bee Hoon

The Chinese in my country calls it economical bee hoon. My culture calls it birthday bee hoon.. 😆 Simply because this dish is commonly found in almost all birthday celebrations.
But this is slightly different from economical recipe. Economical's main ingredients are just garlic, soy sauces and water. This is more of the 'hardworking' version.. because it involves blending of onion and garlic. 🤪
Usual fried bee hoon outside, if you noticed, are mostly whitish in colour. Why mine brownish? Because i added oyster sauce. You may choose to omit that if you're allergic to seafood or simply dont have any oyster sauce at home.
Mine only has carrot because my now-fussy-eater 3yo only eats carrots. Boo hooo.. and i wasnt too keen to remove other vegetables for her. So just carrot it is! 🤣
Again, feel free to add your own variety of greens.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Heat up oil in big wok. Once oil is hot, pour in blended ingredients and fry till fragrant.
- 2
Reduce heat to low medium. Add in carrots and fry for a while.
- 3
Add in sliced fish cakes and fry for a while. Add a bit of water if too dry.
- 4
Add in oyster sauce, pepper and salt to taste. Adjust taste accordingly. If you like more peppery, add more pepper. If you like it more salty, add more salt. Hurhurr.. but to me, let it be slightly more salty than your usual salt level because once you add the noodles, it will be just nice. If you add just enough salt at this point, your noodle will be slightly bland at the end of cooking. Trial and error here okay..? ✌
- 5
Once you've gotten the right taste of seasonings, in goes the noodles. Pour in ½ cup of water as well. The water will further cook the noodles. At this point, use a tong to mix and loosen the noodles. If the noodles are still hard, add more water.. ¼ cup each time and cover lid to further cook the noodle.

The noodles should not break apart. If it's breaking apart and soggy, you may have put in too much water and/or you may have mix the noodles too much/hard. That's why i recommend using a big tong instead.
- 7
Once you're happy with the taste and texture, turn off heat and serve with pickled green chillies. This goes well with fried chicken wings. 😋

Note: this may look like an easy dish. But trust me... it took me several tries before i finally mastered this. To be honest, i can cook assam pedas better than this. 🤣 So... dont give up if you didnt get this dish right first time.. 😘

Bihun Goreng Kampung (Village Fried Rice Noodles) Bihun Goreng Kampung (Village Fried Rice Noodles)
I named this dish ‘Village’ Rice Noodles because my mom used to cook it for me when we lived in a small village long time ago. It’s a very simple dish and it doesn’t use any meat in it because at that time we didn’t have enough money to buy meat for food. But it tastes very good (because it’s Mom’s recipe, of course) especially when you eat it with bird eyes chilies 🌶😋🥵👍🏻Please follow my Instagram @jenscookingdiary for the Indonesian recipes or @jenscookdineandtravel for the English recipes 🙏🏻😊😘 jenscookingdiary -

Fried Hake Roe Fried Hake Roe
Fish roe is a concentrated cluster of fish eggs and can be prepared in various ways—boiled for salads or with mayonnaise, grilled, and more. In Andalusia, we especially love them fried. During Lent, it's a classic in Seville's fried fish dishes. They're a great source of protein, phosphorus, and omega-3s, but should be eaten in moderation due to their high cholesterol. It's a treat that's a must-have for a night of fried fish during Holy Week. María José MR 👨👩👧Translated from Cookpad Spain -

Fried Fish Fried Fish
This tasty fried fish recipe is made with a basic combination of flour and seasonings, but don't be fooled by the simplicity of this dish—the fillets fry up crispy and delicious. Haddock and cod are two excellent choices for fried fish, but tilapia, pollock, or another mild white fish should work fine. Be careful not to overcook the thin fillets or burn the crispy coating.

Fried Hanpen Nuggets Fried Hanpen Nuggets
I came up with these since I wanted some kind of hanpen bento item.My four-year-old loves these so much and gets really excited when I made them.Pounding them evenly will make it easier to get a nice round shape. If the lumps are too big, the batter will clump up and not come out smoothly.Alternatively, you can squeeze out an appropriate amount, roll it into a ball, press it flat, then fry.It's a very versatile recipe. Try in a variety of ways, like adding cheese, shiso leaves, edamane, or sesame seeds. It might also be good with a bit of katakuriko potato starch to give it a chewy texture.Be careful not to use too much salt. Recipe by Aozoranotukisama cookpad.japan -
Fried Wontons Fried Wontons
My family LOVES fried wontons! Some of the ones shown here were made by me, some by my granddaughter Dellaney in Arizona. Great snacks/appetizers, but I'll admit to making them as a main dish. Why not!!? We all tweek the recipe slightly, to our own taste, so feel free to do the same. No one in my household likes cilantro, so we omit it. Others don't add the 5-spice or sesame oil. When I've got it on hand, I love adding chopped bok choy. They're all yummy! Make it your own. Maggie Conlon
