Bee Hoon Kueh

I like Bee Hoon Kueh, everytime my mom cooked it, I would have eaten three to four bowls of it. It is a comfort food for me. Apart from nasi lemak and spicy food, Bee Hoon Kueh was one of the food I craved in Japan. 

One time, I was craving for it so hard that I actually cycled out to supermarket to buy flour. After I went home with the ingredient that I remembered that I didn't know how to cook Bee Hoon Kueh. So, thanks to skype, I called my mom and she told me how to cook it. 

Ingredients:

Flour, salt, dried anchovies for the soup stock. 

(I added prawn too because I had it with me that time, and prawn really didn't go well with Bee Hoon Kueh)

flour, salt and soup stock

Steps:

1. Add flour to a mixing bowl, add a little bit of salt, and pour the water slowly into the mixture and start to knead a dough. If the dough becomes too watery, just add more flour to even it out. 
2. Left the dough for some time. (I actually have doubt on this step because this is not a bread dough and no yeast is added. Anyway, I listened to the experienced one, if my Mom said left the dough for some time, I would do it!)
3. Prepare the soup stock. Lazy people style, I just poured some dried anchovies into a pot of water and started to boil it.
4. After the soup stock reaches boiling point, tear the dough into small pieces one bye one and put it into the pot of soup stock. 
5. For me, after I finished up the dough, I let the soup to boil for another few minutes. I was afraid that I would poison myself with a not thoroughly cooked Bee Hoon Kueh. Done!

Done! my very simple Bee Hoon Kueh.

I eat my Bee Hoon Kueh with prawns and it is not a good combination.

*Due to the whim to eat Bee Hoon Kueh, I bought a packet of flour and until I packed my stuffs and came back to Malaysia, I never finished up the flour. Luckily a friend was willing to take all my not expired food stuffs.
