My dad bought me curry bee hoon instant noodles to try. Since it’s cold, I decided to have a soup meal. This meal is easy to prepare and requires few utensils. Normally, curry noodles include tofu pok, fish cakes, chicken, and vegetables. I used fried tofu, tofu pok, lettuce, mixed frozen vegetables, and topped it with dried shallots.

Google: “Rice vermicelli (also known as Bee Hoon, rice sticks) is a type of noodle made from rice, and is a popular staple in East and Southeast Asia. It is dstinctive for its versatility and ability to absorb the taste of other ingredients when cooked. It has a high fiber content, easy to digest, and is filling. Vermicelli is good for weight loss since it does not include high-calorie ingredients, unlike oil and dairy products. Incorporating vegetables with vermicelli can lower the calorie density of the dish, which is an essential criterion for weight loss.”

“Tofu pok (also known as tofu puff or tau pok) is a type of tofu which has been deep fried in oil until they are light and airy in the core. Its name literally means “bean bubble” describing the shape of the tofu as a bubble.” “Frozen mixed vegetables consist of three or more succulent vegetables, properly prepared and properly blanched; may contain vegetables (such as, small pieces of sweet red peppers or sweet green peppers) added as garnish; and are frozen and maintained at temperatures necessary for the preservation of the product.”
