Fried Vegetarian Bee Hoon

I was at home alone with my little girl on Monday. This was the first time since I got preggie. Anyway, since I'm at home, I decided to cook something. We had pork ribs porridge with potatoes (Little girl requested for potatoes herself so I got some from ShopnSave and added in as one of the ingredients) and fried vegetarian beehoon for dinner. I forgot to take the picture for the porridge so I will just put up the recipe for the fried beehoon.

Ingredients (3 pax share):

- 1 packet of beehoon (tai sun brand, I particularly preferred this brand))
- 1 vegetarian canned food (refer to picture below)
- 1 small cabbage, chopped
- 1 carrot, medium sized, sliced
- Button mushrooms, average sized about 8-10 pieces, sliced
- Black fungus, average sized about 3-4 pieces, sliced
- 2.5 tablespoons of soya sauce
- 2.5 tablespoons of vegetarian oyster sauce
- 2 garlic, average sized, chopped finely
- 2 onions, average sized, chopped finely
- 3-4 tablespoons of cooking oil
- water

How to cook:

- Soaked the beehoon and black fungus (separately) in the water for 30mins.
- Mixed the soya sauce and vegetarian oyster sauce in a bowl. Added 1/3 bowl of water into the mixture and stirred till the oyster sauce dissolved.
- Heated the wok, added 1 tablespoon of oil and fried the garlic and onion.
- When the garlic and onion started to get crispy, added in the cabbage and carrot.
- Poured half a bowl of water and the gravy from the vegetarian canned food, stirred the vege, and left it for 5-10mins.
- Then added in the black fungus and button mushrooms, left for another 5mins.
- Scooped the dish and left it aside on a plate.
- Heated the wok with 2-3 tablespoons of oil.
- Added the beehoon, poured in the soya-oyster sauce mixture and fried till the beehoon turned soft. (If you find the beehoon too long, cut it before you poured into the wok)
- Finally, poured in the vege canned food and the cabbage dish fried earlier.
- Keep stirring till the ingredients are evenly spread around the beehoon and its ready to be served.

Note: You may add in lettuce instead of cabbage. The only difference is you don’t have to fry the lettuce, just add in when you have completed the dish (can garnish the dish too).
