Makan Bee Hoon – What Is So Special?
The Makan Style Fried Bee Hoon is a simple, and totally delicious Malaysian breakfast. If you find yourself in the fantastic Kuala Lumpur, the side streets of Penang or in a town in Sarawak, wherever you may find yourself in Peninsula Malaysia or Borneo you will find this dish.
However you’ll find differing ingredients added dependent upon region, and heritage. Chinese often add their famous pork sausage, and this would most definitely not be added by Malays. They instead ensure the dish is Halal, with addition of mushroom and of course wonderful hits from hot and spicy chili. Truly earning this dish a place here in AsiaFlavor.

It is also a dish often made at home, and large plastic containers of it stored for hungry folk as and when needed! Easy to make and very economical in cost.

Ingredients
- Dry Ingredients To Soak
400 ml Water
200 g Bee Hoon
30 g Dried Mushroom
20 g Dried Black Fungus
- Aromatics
6 Dried Red Chilis
2 Garlic Cloves
4 Shallots
1 tsp Shrimp Paste
Salt
Sugar
- For The Stir Fry
2 tbsp Cooking Oil
80 g Mustard Greens
50 g Fish Cake
2 Eggs
100 g Chicken Breast

1 Fried Tofu Skin Sheet
- For The Stir Fry Sauce

Directions
- In a bowl add 400ml of warm water. Soak the Vermicelli for 5 minutes. Once soft and soaked remove the Vermicelli and drain. Retain the water and to it add the dried red chili and dried mushroom/fungi. Allow these to soak for 5 minutes.
- In a pestle and mortar add the garlic cloves, chopped shallots, shrimp paste, salt, sugar and soaked red chilis. Grind into a rough paste. This can be achieved quickly as a fine smooth paste is not needed. Just grind until no shreds of chili skin remain.
- Heat a wok or large frypan. Add the 2 tbsp of cooking oil to the wok and fry the chili paste until aromatic. About 2 minutes. Once your paste has become fragrant and fried through add the meats. In this case the fish cake and chicken meat. Stir fry to 3 minutes. Then add your sliced carrots, and stir fry for a further 2 minutes.
- Sprinkle about 1-2 tsp of water to the wok and add the light and dark soy sauces. Now add the bee hoon and stir well to thoroughly combine all of the ingredients. Add additional water if the dish becomes too dry and begins to stick. Once heated through add the mustard greens and stir fry for a further minute or two.
- Now push all the ingredients in the wok to one side. Add a drop or two of oil and once hot add your lightly beaten eggs. Once the eggs have started to set, stir through the noodles. Leave to cook for a few seconds more.
- Place your noodles into a large serving dish, or individual portions, and finish by garnishing with fine slices of fresh red chili and spring onion. Enjoy!
