I was on leave sometime back and all alone at home. Got hungry late afternoon but was too lazy to go out to grab a bite. Rummaged thru my fridge and larder, looked like I could cook something for myself after all.
From my fridge I took out a bottle of sambal that my mom gave me. I'm not sure what's inside but I deducted that dried shrimps, dried chillies and belacan must be the main ingredients. Soaked some beehoon (rice vermicelli). Sliced some shallots and julienne a bit of carrot and cucumber each.
Out came the wok and heated some oil in it. Chucked in the shallots and fried till translucent. Scooped in some sambal and fried till fragrant. Stirred in the carrots and cucumber. Seasoned with salt (taste first as sometimes the sambal could be salty enough). The soaked beehoon went in next and gave them a good stir before pouring some water inside. I let them simmer till fairly dry before giving the beehoon some good stirring and dish up when completely dry.
Served with some shredded omelette. Yummy!!!

ReplyDeleteSometimes, when I cook plain beehoon, in addition to shredded omelette, I also add some fried strips of luncheon meat (I learnt this from my sis' maid!)

Throw in some dried prawns and chopped onions before adding the sambal (if sambal takdak dried prawns).
