Yen Can Cook: Fried Meehoon
Fried meehoon, a type of staple food that can be found everywhere such as parties, hawker stalls or even restaurants. It can be cooked in many ways from the most common soy sauce version, to Nyonya style Mee Siam and canned stewed pork version. You may add in any ingredients to pair with the fried meehoon, meats, seafood, vegetables, mushrooms and etc. And here’s my version which slightly different with the normal fried version, check it out!
Ingredients
100g meehoon (soaked with tap water and drained)
150g sliced pork (marinate with soy sauce, pepper and sesame oil)
2 eggs
Cabbage (shredded)
240ml stock (vegetable or meat stock)
Oil
1/2 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Step 1: Heat oil in a frying pan, add in egg and cook into an omelette. Remove and slice into thin strips, set aside.
Step2: Heat oil in the wok over high heat, add in the pork fillet stir fry until the pork change colour, then add in the shredded cabbage. Stir fry for a few minutes and add in stock, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and stir in the meehoon. Turn down the heat so that the broth is still simmering. Cover the pan and simmer for about 2 to 3 minutes, stir frequently, until almost all the liquid has been absorbed.
Step 3: Remove the cover and transfer the meehoon to a serving plate. Topped with egg stripes (Step 1)
Remark:-
- If you don’t have stock, you can use stock cubes.
- As per mentioned, you can play around with the ingredients, using whatever you have on hand and whatever you like (e.g. swap pork for chicken, seafood or fish cakes, cabbage for choy sum, bok choy, mushroom, bean sprout & etc)
- You can serve this fried meehoon with sambal or curry gravy too.
HAPPY COOKING!
Do you have my home address? I could have another box of fried bee hoon for lunch ya know 😀
You buy it at your place sure faster than I courier mine to you LOL
I once tried to fry meehoon and most of it got stuck to the pan! :'( I’ve not fried meehoon since…resort to tapau from outside.
Ya, fried meehoon seem like quite an easy task but not entirely actually. Mine will stick to the pan too >_<
I like meehoon over mee, I cook meehoon once in a while but most of the time eat meehoon soup outside.
Meehoon soup definitely easier to prepare, LOL
love fried bee hoon. it was what my grandmother cooked every saturday afternoon for lunch 😀
Something that will never get bored of, right?
Nice! This is exactly like the fried mee hoon I used to order at the mamak at my first job in KL circa 2003. Haha.
I like how your egg is nice and flat too, I thought you wrapped the bee hoon *inside* the egg like nasi goreng Pattaya at first.
The one I used to eat certainly didn’t have pork though so yours would taste a lot better. 🙂
Fried mehoon Pattaya definitely a level higher than this, haha!
I love to eat Fried Meehoon! I saw you wrote canned stewed pork version and my eyes lighted up!
Have you tried before the canned stewed pork version? It’s extremely delicious, but only can eat once a while since canned food not really something very healthy 😛
