Wok With Kok Again?

Today's theme...

BEE HOON (RICE VERMICELLI)

Since I'm in the midst of preparing my exams, I always want a quick dinner. But how to prepare a quick and yummy dinner?

Bee Hoon Soup.

First up, Bee Hoon Soup! I must say this is tasty. Actually this was my first attempt on bee hoon soup. This only took me less than 30 minutes from preparing till cooking.

Delicious bee hoon soup during winter...

You must be wondering how easy to cook this. Let me show you how I did it.

Ingredients

1. Bee Hoon
2. Pork
3. Vege
4. Chicken stock/powder
5. Pepper
6. Salt

Instructions

1. Slice the pork and marinate it with just pepper and salt. Don't use any soya sauce. You don't want the whole bowl of soup to be in dark in colour, right? ;)
2. Soak the bee hoon in boiling water (not on top of the stove). Make sure it's 70% soft and not 100%. The reason: you'll have to put in the bee hoon into the soup later and you wouldn't want your bee hoon to be too soft.
3. Clean and cut the vege.
   
4. Boil water in a small pot before you add in chicken stock/powder. The amount? Trial and error. :P
5. Add in the marinated pork.
6. 5 minutes later, add in bee hoon.
7. After 2 minutes, add in vege.
8. Let it boil for 2 more minutes. Do not add anymore salt as the chicken stock/powder itself is salty enough.
   
9. Finally, you can serve your bee hoon soup in a big bowl with little bit of pepper on top.
   

Easy right? Less than 10 steps. You can use chicken bone instead of chicken stock/powder. That'll taste much more better. For me, since I don't have any extra things left in the fridge, that's all I can find for my bee hoon soup. Any comments to improve this are most welcome! :)

Next up, Fried Bee Hoon!

Fried Bee Hoon.

I didn't expect this fried bee hoon to as delicious as the bee hoon soup. I can say, I cincai (simply) fried only. :P

Almost the same ingredients.

I actually cooked this fried bee hoon tonight and bee hoon soup the night before. So, the ingredients are roughly the same.

Ingredients

1. Bee Hoon
2. Pork
3. Vege
4. Egg
5. Pepper
6. Salt
7. Dark soya sauce
8. Oyster sauce
9. Light soya sauce
10. Garlic
11. Olive oil (I use olive oil to cook) or cooking oil
    

Instructions

1. Slice the pork and marinate it with just pepper, salt, oyster sauce (not too much), light soya sauce and dark soya sauce. I marinated this over night as I had sliced the pork earlier when I cooked the bee hoon soup.
2. Soak the bee hoon in boiling water (not on top of the stove). Make sure it's 90% soft now. For your information, it won't be getting any softer when you fry it.
3. Clean and cut the vege.
4. Chopped some garlic.
5. Add in a small amount of oil (just to make sure nothing stick onto your wok/pan later) to the wok/pan.
6. Fry the egg. One egg per serving is preferable. By the way, just scramble egg. If you planned to just leave it at the side before you cook the other stuff, ensure that the egg is only 70% cooked.
   
7. Add in chopped garlic and fry for 30-60 seconds. At this time, the aromatic smell of the garlic would fill in your whole kitchen
   
8. After that, add in the marinated pork. Fry until it's 90% cooked.
9. Now, fry the bee hoon with all the ingredients. Mix everything together.
10. Salt, pepper, little bit of dark soya sauce (to make the bee hoon "looks" better) and light soya sauce are added
    
11. Put in the vege.
12. Fry for 2 or 3 more minutes. If the bee hoon is getting too dry, add in small amount of water.
13. Your plate should be ready by then to serve your fried bee hoon.

How's it? Not too difficult, eh? The bee hoon was lacked of taugeh (bean sprouts). It would be more delicious with the taugeh.

So, that's for today's 30 minutes Wok With Kok! Kok can cook, so can you! Thanks for reading. :)

P/s: I must admit, I'm not good at giving instructions.
P/s/s: I don't have much ingredients left in the fridge. That's why all you can see are just bee hoon, vege and pork.
P/s/s: I'm rushing this post. I think there's lots of grammatical mistakes or typos. Forgive me as I want to get back to my study! :P
