Bee hoon is synonymous with Singapore food courts. Of course, they coat it with soy sauce. Now, that's not something commonly found in Indian kitchens. But I love their fried onions on top. Hmmm...Here's what I did... I bought a packet of Bee hoon from NTUC and it was sitting on the shelf for a month, until one day, when I was inspired to finally make Beehoon, this way!
Bee hoon closely resembles our Instant Rice Sevai, although it is longer and curlier.
Bee hoon - 1 packet (~200 grams)
Oil - 2 tsp
Black mustard seeds - 3/4 tsp
Urad dal - 1 tsp
Channa Dal - 1 tsp
Green chillies - 3 (slit)
Onions - 2
Tomatoes- 3
Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
Kitchen King - 1 tsp
Salt ~ 1 tsp (to taste)
Fried Onions
Fresh Coriander
Cook Beehoon in salted boiling water according to packet instructions. Drain and keep aside.
Take a pan/kadai/wok, heat 2 tsp of oil and pop mustard seeds followed by urad dal and channa dal and fry in medium flame till they turn reddish-brown. Awww...the cruncy channa dal!
Slit green chillies and add chopped onions.
Add chopped tomatoes to this.
Finally add fried onions and garnish with coriander leaves.
This is my customized beehoon :)
A sumptuous one-pot meal indeed! Feel free to add grated carrots, ghee-roasted cashews and more! :)
