If you don’t mind using A Wok
If you don’t mind using a wok, then you can cook this dish with these steps:
- Fry some minced garlic
- Add cabbage and fry till the cabbage is softened.
- Add beehoon and stir fry till dry
- Add the can of pork trotters, dark and light soy sauce and enough water to cover the beehoon.
- Simmer uncovered for 3-5mins until the beehoon is cooked and the gravy is absorbed, then toss and fry till the beehoon is almost dry.
This will, of course, result in a nicer tasting dish as the wok will impart a bit of char to the beehoon!
