Fried Bee Hoon
I love plain fried rice vermicelli (炒米粉). More commonly known as “bee hoon” or “bihun” (米粉) by the locals, these thin noodles are made from rice. Plain fried bee hoon is one of the staples (along with rice and other fried noodles) that you can choose from when you order food at “economical bee hoon” or vegetarian food stalls in Singapore.

Even though the bee hoon is so-called plain, they taste nice on its own due to the soy seasonings. Growing up, I love to eat plain bee hoon with just Sinsin garlic chilli sauce. That being said, they are usually complemented with homely dishes such as curry vegetables, sambal long beans and simple stir-fried cabbage. It is also popular party food as it go well with almost every finger food like fried chicken, plus the noodles can be left be left on the table for a few hours without becoming soggy.

Your rice vermicelli with curry vegetable reminds me of the very very yummy 米粉 I tried in both Singapore and Malaysia. Combining both the light and dark soy sauce is also one of our very common practices here.
wow! I’d love to party with you!
this is my classic morning breakfast back in the days when we had a little coffee shop like a 1 min trek away from ours! yum! looks so good. i’d trade my Shreddies for this please.
Did u cook the sambal beans n deep fried chicken wings too? Looks yummy!
I cooked the sambal beans (will be posting the recipe soon), while the chicken wings are from Old Chang Kee, haha!
You are giving a large party, ain’t you!? Why are we not invited? LOL I want to try your stir-fried vermicelli with curry veggies! It looks very flavourful.
you are so good in photo taking. the plain mihun looks yummy under your lens.
Thank you! :)
the mee hoon looked auspiciousy delicious, I remember it was my chilhood favourite party food!
Hi, what brand of Bee Hoon do you use?
Hi Mel, I use the “Chilli Brand” (Chinese words: 人民). The packaging has 2 chillis on it.
somehow, this is one of the most fulfilling breakfast. What I look forward to in SG in the morning on the weekends.
Making it at home is so much better though as there is less oil going to the bee hoon!
yes, I cook it with olive oil, no less! ;)
im so hungry after seeing the photos~~~ such a fine bee hoon there, it’s making me drool right away:))
