XO Sauce Bee Hoon (Rice Vermicelli)

An incredibly easy and time-saving recipe! Perfect for last minute meal preps.

A well-loved staple in many Singaporean Homes for good reason - This versatile dish goes well with almost anything! Pair it with your favourite finger food i.e. Fried Spam Strips, Chicken Wings and Cuttlefish Balls *yumyum*. You name it!

Tip: Bypass the time needed to soak regular Bee Hoon by using Instant Bee Hoon! Instant Bee Hoon also comes pre-portioned (you are most welcome hehe). Here is the Bee Hoon I used for this recipe:

Cooking Time: 10 mins | Makes 2 portions

Ingredients

• 2 Servings Instant Beehoon (Around 90g) *See image below*

• 2 Cloves Garlic, chopped

• 3- 4 Stalks Chye Sim, Chopped - Don't have this? Substitute it with any other leafy vegetable

• Pinch of Salt

• 1 Tbsp Cooking Oil

(Seasoning)

• 1 Tbsp Oyster Sauce

• 1 Tbsp Dark Soy Sauce

• 1 Tbsp Ketchup

• 2 Tbsp Lee Kum Kee XO Sauce - Feel free to use any other kind of bottled Chili Crisp Sauce you have at home :)

• 1/4 Tsp White Pepper, Ground

(Garnish) - Optional

• 2 Eggs

• 1/2 Tsp Light Soy Sauce

• 2 Fresh Chili Padi

Directions

1. Combine eggs with light soy sauce in a bowl and mix well. Add to a heated pan with oil and fry till golden brown. Slice into strips and set aside.

2. In a separate bowl, combine the ingredients for the seasoning and stir well. Set aside.

3. Cook instant Bee Hoon in boiling water for 1 minute (If you are using a different Instant Bee Hoon, follow the instructions on the packaging for the recommended cooking time)

4. In a heated frying pan with oil, add in chopped garlic and stir fry till fragrant. Add in Bee Hoon and seasoning and continue to stir-fry until each Bee Hoon is evenly coated. (I usually use a pair of Chopsticks to separate and mix the noodles instead of a spatula)

5. Push Bee Hoon to one side of the pan and add some cooking oil to the empty part of the pan. Place chopped vegetables in oil and season with a pinch of salt. When vegetables are almost cooked, stir-fry with the rest of the noodles for another 30 seconds.

6. Transfer to a plate and top with garnish before serving.
   

Enjoy!
