It's about one week to Mothers' Day (10 May). Have you decided how you will celebrate with your Mum? You may want to make use of this weekend to try out recipes for Mothers' Day. I'm sure your mum will appreciate your homemade cakes or dishes.
My mum will be celebrating Mothers' Day in the hospital this year due to knee replacement surgery so my family will be celebrating this weekend together with my dad's birthday.
Today I am sharing with you a fried bee hoon recipe that has no meat. Sometimes it's good to go meatless. If your mum has cholesterol problem, you may omit the omelette.
Colourful fried vemicelli (bee hoon)- serves 2
100g vemicelli (bee hoon), soaked
half red and yellow capsicum
1 carrot
2 dried shitake mushroom, soaked (reserve the water for cooking)
1 small onion
1 tbsp chopped garlic
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tbsp light soya sauce
1/2 tbsp oyster sauce
white pepper
1 egg
salt
1) Cut the capsicum, carrot, onion and mushroom into strips.
2) Beat the egg with 1 tsp water, a dash of salt and pepper.
3) Heat a non-stick frying pan with 1/2 tbsp oil.
4) Pour in the beaten egg when the pan is hot. When the egg is almost cooked, fold into half and remove from pan. Cut into strips.
5) Heat up the rest of the oil. Fry the garlic and onion till fragrant.
6) Add in the carrot and mix well
7) Add in the mushrooms and mix well
8) Add in the oyster sauce, soya sauce and white pepper and mix well
9) Add in the capsicum and mix well
10) Add in the soaked bee hoon and 2-3 tbsp of the mushroom water. Using a spatula and a pair of chopsticks, stir fry the bee hoon and the vegetables for 3 minutes. Taste the bee hoon and adjust seasoning if needed.
11) Dish up the fried bee hoon and garnish with the fried egg. You may garnish with cilantro and red chilli if desired.
I have only used one colour of capsicum in my cooking above and as you can see from the pictures, they were taken on 2 separate days.
Something to try for Meatless Mondays?
Have a lovely long weekend!
