SPICEGASM.COM My travel tales and food hunting

I swore when I snapped the picture of my fried bee hoon with my cell phone, the quality seems to look good on the screen. But when I transferred it to my laptop, the image seems to look very blur. I am not going to blame on my Sony Ericsson cell phone but I will blame my lack of photography skills. I will not use this reason to get an I phone myself too. I am never a big fan of cellphone and I am happy to be able to make calls, receive and send text messages.

Even though the picture is blur but I swore it tasted all right…LOL. I guess for now you just have to take my word for it. Hopefully one day I might save enough money to open a restaurant in Manila. So without further adieu, here is the simple recipe of SPICY FRIED BEE HOON.

INGREDIENTS :-

• One packet of Bee Hoon ( soak in water )
• 250 gm of beef cubes ( cut into small cubes – 3 cm – 5cm )
• Dried shrimp ( soaked in water first )
• Half cabbage ( cut into thin slice )
• 2 eggs
• Red chilli ( recommended to use 3, put less if can’t take to spicy )
• One red onion
• 5 cloves of garlic
• Soya sauce – 5 teaspoon
• Salt, sugar and pepper to taste
• Cooking oil

PREPARATION :-

• Ground the chilli and garlic – as fine as possible
• Slice the onion
• Beat the eggs and then fry it like an omelet. When is ready slice the egg 1cm x 2cm

COOKING :-

• Heat up oil in wok
• Put in the garlic and onion, stir fry till fragrant
• Add in dried shrimp
• Add beef, stir fry a little and proceed to add cilli, salt and soya sauce
• Then add cabbage and stir fry for another 3-5 minutes, depends on how big is your fire and add sugar ( not too much )
• Add the bee hoon and start to stir fry till all ingredient mixes well.
• If bee hoon keeps sticking to the pan, add a little bit more oil
• Stir fry it and keep tasting and add more salt if you wish to make it saltier. You can also use fish sauce ( patis )if you like.
• When the all ingredients mixes well with bee hoon, make sure the bee hoon look dry. Add pepper and it is ready to be serve.

I can’t believe that I just made a post on how to cook spicy bee hoon. This is my first attempt to be giving out recipe and I hope for those of you who read it can understand it. I have to admit I find it quite fun to be posting food recipe although I felt like a 40 years old house wife while doing it. I hope to improve on my writing skills in order to give the exact instructions in the future. In the meantime, try out the recipe and I am sure you will like it. If it taste like crap, then is most probably your FAULT. Hahaha….happy cooking.
