Fried Bihun (Rice Vermicelli)
- 4 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil, Divided
- 2 whole Eggs, Beaten
- 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
- 10 whole Fishballs
- 5 pieces 2x2 Inch Stuffed Beancurd Skin, Cut Into 1 Inch Strips
- 1 block 2.5 X 2.5 Inch Firm Tofu, Cubed
- 2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 1 Tablespoon Kecap Manis (Indonesian Sweet Soy Sauce)
- 1 Tablespoon Oyster Sauce
- 2 Tablespoons Dark Cooking Caramel
- 1- 1/2 cup Water
- 1 bunch Kale, Chopped With Stems And Leaves Separated
- 7 ounces, weight Bi Hun (Rice Vermicelli), Soaked In Water Until Limp Then Drained
- Heat up a wok or pan with high sides on medium high heat.
- With 2 tablespoons of oil, make an omelette by pouring beaten egg into the pan and let it sit for just 1 minute.
- We dont want any browning.
- Flip it over and let the other side get firmer for another 1/2 minute.
- Remove egg from the pan and set aside to cool.
- In the same wok, pour in remaining oil and fry minced garlic until fragrant, about a minute.
- Throw in fishballs, stuffed beancurd skin and tofu.
- Let them fry and warm up for about 2 minutes.
- Add all the seasoning sauces plus water and let it come to a boil.
- Then scatter in the stem parts of the kale and let them soften slightly.
- Then add the leaves.
- Once the leaves have wilted, add in the softened and drained bihun (noodles).
- Cover the pan and let the noodles soak up the sauce and soften, on medium heat, about 2 minutes, checking to see if water has been absorbed.
- Add more water if necessary.
- Once the noodles are soft to your liking, check for seasoning and adjust if needed.
- Serve it all up on a nice large glass dish.
- Cut the omelette into long strips and adorn the noodles.
- Serve!
- * I like my fried bihun on the saltier side but you can feel free to reduce the seasoning a little, adding more as you adjust it to your own preference.
