#16 Bee Hoon Tiga rasa

This is the 3rd post today... I cooked this for ifthar yesterday for my family. I saw one of my Facebook friends uploading a photo of Bee Hoon tiga rasa that she bought and it made me crave for this. I based on the ikan siakap tiga rasa recipe and changed a few ingredients here and there.

Ingredients:

1/2 a packet of rice vermicelli (this is up to you based on the number of people eating)
2 squids (washed & sliced into rings)
6 prawns (washed)
2 fish cakes (thinly sliced)
3 tbsp chilli sauce
1 small onion (peeled)
2 cloves of garlic (peeled)
10 dried chillies (cut and boiled)
5 limes (for the juice)
3 chilli padi (chopped finely)
1 yellow bell pepper (cubed into small pieces)
2 tbsp oyster sauce
4 tbsp sweet soya sauce
2 tbsp fish sauce
About 5 pieces of kai lan *optional*
Knorr Hao Chi to taste
Coriander for a final touch

Instructions:

Firstly blend the chillies and the onion together to get a paste. In a big bowl, soak the rice vermicelli in water while preparing the wet ingredients such as the squid and prawns. Soak for about 10 to 15 minutes.

Heat the wok with some oil. Sauté the chilli paste and the garlic on medium heat. Once you see the chilli seems to be separated from the oil, add in the tomato sauce, chilli sauce, fish sauce, soya sauce and the oyster sauce. You will get a thick paste from there. Add in your squid, fishcake and prawns to ensure that these ingredients are well cooked, thus they need to be put in first.

Once you see these ingredients are cooked, add in your rice vermicelli. Stir until the noodle is completely covered in the paste. Add in a small cup of water so that the noodles would cook easily and can absorb the flavours better. Add in 2 teaspoons of Hao Chi (some sort of flavouring enhancer), and with this you don't need to add in salt. keep on stirring. Add in your chilli padi. And then squeeze out the lime juice and add in to the wok. Continue stirring.

Lastly, add in your corriander and kai lan, so that the vegetables remain crunchy even after cooking. Turn off the heat and serve with some fried shallots.

It is quite easy to make actually. I spent about $9 to make this and it is really worth it as I get to feed 6 mouths with this. If anything is amiss, it is up to you to add more of what sauce since the amount of rice vermicelli we used differs. That's the beauty of cooking. You just do trial and error! :)

HAPPY TRYING! :) ♡
