STORY BEHIND THE RECIPE<\/span><\/h1>\n

Do you like to eat Vegetarian Bee Hoon (Zai Mi Fen) for breakfast? My husband and I would\u00a0usually\u00a0adjourn to the hawker centre for our breakfast after our weekly market visit. We would always end up at the Zai Mi Fen stall because we wanted to eat something healthy, and we thought that Vegetarian Bee Hoon was healthy! Of course we were wrong.<\/p>\n

TRICK OF THE TRADE<\/span><\/h1>\n

Zai Mi Fen is bee hoon (or rice vermicelli) fried with carrot, cabbage and bean sprouts. In hawker centres, heaps of monosodium glutamate (MSG) is added to give the vegetarian bee hoon more flavour. Moreover, it is\u00a0often accompanied by deep-fried mock meat, mock char siew and greasy vegetables, all of which are laden with MSG, colouring, flavouring and oil – lots of hidden calories!<\/p>\n

I decided to make a healthy version at home that’s made of all\u00a0vegetables and bee hoon, except for one small indulgence – crispy fried mock goose (made of sweet bean curd) – because Vegetarian Bee Hoon would not be Vegetarian Bee Hoon if there was no crispy mock goose!<\/p>\n
