Vegetarian White Bee Hoon Recipe - Indian Style

Blanched bee hoon, stir fried with dried chilies, curry leaves, mustard seeds, shallots and cabbage.
A timeless classic, this Vegetarian White Bee Hoon Indian Style brings back the nostalgia of humble, home-cooked meals. Known for its simplicity, affordability, and wholesome ingredients, this dish is a favourite in Indian households (MEE GORENG/FRIED MEE).

Back in the day, it was a go-to budget-friendly meal for families like mine (EASIEST EGG FRIED RICE) Today, it’s appreciated for its clean, healthy ingredients and nostalgic value. This easy stir-fried white bee hoon (also known as rice vermicelli) is rich in fiber, vitamin C, vitamin K, and antioxidants - thanks to cabbage, curry leaves, mustard seeds, chillies, and shallots.

Perfect as a quick breakfast, lunch, or dinner, this vegetarian bee hoon is light yet satisfying. For a kid-friendly version, skip the chillies and top it off with a fried egg for extra protein.

 

Fragrant, nutritious, and full of flavour (TASTY TOFU RECIPES), this Indian-style vegetarian white bee hoon is sure to please.
