Stir Fry Rice Vermecelli a.k.a Beehon Goreng

We usually just have light, simple and quick lunch. Big and complete meals only served for dinner. Here is one of my favorite express lunch with some basic ingredients that I have in my pantry and fridge to create a such of simple and delicious meal.



Ingredients:
200 gr rice vermicelli, soaked with warm water
1 ea medium size carrot, julienned
2 stalk spring onion, chopped into 2 cm
2 cup shredded cabbage
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tbs dried shrimp, soaked with warm water
5-6 tbs Rice bran oil

Marinated:
1/2 part of chicken breast, thinly sliced
1 tsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp ground white pepper
1 pinch of sugar
1 tsp garlic powder

Mixing sauce:
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/2 tsp chicken powder
4 tbs sweet soy sauce
2 tbs soy sauce

Spice paste:
3 cloves garlic
3 shallots
1/2 tsp whole white pepper
1/2 tsp salt

Directions:
Heat the wok with about 2 tbs rice bran oil. Make a scramble egg. Set aside. Add a bit oil, stir fry the chicken just until lightly brown (not over cooked as chicken breast will become hard), set a side. Add another 2-3 tbs oil, cook the spice paste until aromatic, add dried shrimp, carrot, cabbage, spring onion and stir fry for 1 minutes, then add the rice vermicelli, egg and chicken. Pour in the mixing sauce and continue stir fry and fold until well mixed. I used my giant wood chopstick to well combined. Top it with crispy fried shallot.
