Fried Bee Hoon

This is one of our favourite dish for gatherings or picnics or when I am too lazy to cook. It is easy to make and goes well with other side dishes like bake/fried chicken, fish balls, prawn/seafood fritters etc. There are many versions to make this, some like it savoury by adding dried shrimps, some like to add dark soya sauce or oyster sauce but for me, I like it simple and have lots of ingredients like veges, meat or seafood.

I love to have this with lots of pickled green chillies .. yummy You can add other seafood like squid, scallops or even replace the seafood with thin slices of beef.
