Drunken Fried Beehoon

Sunday and creativity can do wonders. I was feeling productive when i woke up at 9am today so i decided to take a look at my kitchen cabinet. I rarely cook at home and usually eat out just because it is more convenient and therefore, I have an almost empty kitchen cabinet. But then, I saw a packet of beehoon (rice vermicelli) and I thought, okay I should make fried beehoon. I opened up my fridge and Its empty, no veggie at all. All I had was half can of spam, a tau kee (fried dried beancurd), and a quarter of soybean paste chili. Luckily, I remembered the time when I went to one of the fried beehoon store at redhill market and saw the way the uncle cook. The key is: BROTH. So, I quickly opened up my kitchen cabinet and there I found.. the miracle broth: Drunken Chicken Hotpot Broth. So, putting all these ingredients together, I made fried beehoon. Here is the details:

Ingredients - portion for 2:

1/2 packet of rice vermicelli
1/2  packet of drunken chicken broth, mixed with 500mL of hot water.
2 spoons of soybean paste chili
spam (as much or as little as you want), chopped
taukee (again, as little or as much as you want), chopped.
5 cloves of garlic, chopped.
oil for frying and stir frying
~ 3 tablespoon of soysauce
~ 2 tablespoon of pepper for seasoning (adjust to liking).

To make:
1. Soak the beehoon in a hot water to soften the beehoon. It will take roughly 5-10minutes. It gets soft pretty quickly. Drain, put in a bowl, sprinkle a tiny bit of oil so it won't stick to each other.

2. Heat up oil, stir in spam and taukee (at this point, you can put pretty much anything that you would want to fry). Cook until golden and set aside.

3. Heat up oil in a wok, stir in garlics and soybean paste. Cook until fragrant then dump in all the beehoon. Stir until the colours are even. Slowly, pour a little bit of the broth and cook until the water all drains out and then put in more broth, around 1/2 cup at a time. Put the wok lid and wait for about 3-4 minutes until the water drains out and the beehoon is soaked with the "miracle broth".  Turn off the fire and top with spam and taukee (or any other thing that you want to add in).

4. Serve while its hot.
