Sketches of Life|Life Lived in Simplicity

Every Sunday without fail my eldest daughter will ask me for noodle. Even though there is other food on the table, she insisted, “I want Mommy’s Noodle!”

Below is the recipe for Mommy’s Noodle.

300g Rice Vermicelli (Bee Hoon)
1 can of Stew Pork
1 thinly sliced Onion
1 thinly sliced Carrot
100g thinly sliced Cabbage
4 finely chopped Garlic
Dark Soy Sauce
1 Tablespoon of Oil
1 mug of water
Salt to taste

This is how I prepare it:

1. Soak the Bee Hoon
2. Slice those that needs to be sliced
3. Open the can of Stew Pork. Throw away the lard. If not your Bee Hoon will be very oily.
4. Heat the wok, heat the oil.
5. Fry the Garlic and Onion.
6. Pour in the Stew Pork. Let it boil.
7. Add 1 mug of water.
8. Put in the Vege. Add in some salt. Normally I use 1 teaspoon.
9. Add in some dark soy sauce (I prefer Cap Lembu). How much depends on you. You want your Bee Hoon to be dark, then put more.
10. Bring it to boil then add in the Bee Hoon.
11. Stir, stir, stir until everything is mixed up nicely and the Bee Hoon is dry. That’s all. You are done.

The above can be prepared in half and hour time, from the preparation to the cooking.
