Plain Fried Rice Vermicelli (Plain Fried Bee Hoon) 炒米粉

One of Bit Bit's favourite breakfast is a packet of fried bee hoon with sambal chilli, especially when the bee hoon has just been cooked. Bit Bit can finish the whole packet of bee hoon within 10 minutes. Looking at the rice vermicelli (bee hoon) kept in the cupboard, Bit Bit decided to make chao mee fen (fried bee hoon).

This dish took about 25 minutes.
