So what did I cook for us mothers on Mothers' Day? Fried Chao Chai Big Bee hoon. Let me translate for all of you that do not know hokkien.
Chao Chai - a type of salted vegetable that you can buy from the market. A bit smelly when you buy it but no worries, after you wash and cut it, it is not that bad and after you cook it, it taste wonderful. You can buy chao chai at the market or chinese grocery story. I forgot to take the picture of the packet but just ask the store man. Make sure he is chinese and understand what you are saying...I bought one packet for only RM3..Not sure west malaysia got or not lar...
Big Bee Hoon - a type of Vermicelli but bigger size..fatter. Made from rice actually. Delicious when fried or made soup with it and it is chewy..
I always ordered this dish when I go out to the coffee shop and they are yummy and I tried to search in the internet on how to cook it but nothing...Soo I decided to try it out myself and guess what my friends loved it..
So lets Cook...
INGREDIENTS

- 1 Chicken breasts - Cut into smaller pieces - Marinate with a bit of Oyster Sauce, Cooking wine and black pepper.
- Black Fungus - cut into strips - I think I bought the wrong type but oh well..turned out nice..ha ha. People PLEASE do not use those fungus that you get from your feet okie..or from the drain. Is those black chewy nice fungus that are found in the sea and dried it (I think). All you have to do is soak it in water for a few hours till it becomes wet and you can cut them

Step 2
- Put oil in hot wok and then stir fry the red onion till the aroma comes out and the onion is a bit brownish but not burnt
Step 3
- Throw the Chao Chai into the wok cos the red onion are getting a bit lonely..Fry it with big fire but remember to keep on frying otherwise aiyohhh burn. If you are not good at it, please do fry it with smaller fire okie or ask mummy to cook ha ha ha
- Throw in the 3rd party which is the black fungus and then fry it some more
Step 4
- Throw the big bee hoon into the wok and then MIX MIX FRY FRY FRY....GO baby Gooooo....After frying our last Fried Kolo Mee dish I think you should have bulky hands so I guess no problem for you but if you do not understand what the heck am I talking abt please ignore this whole long sentence and just fry your bee hooon..
- Put some soy sauce all over the bee hoon and fry it some more till they are mix properly. Taste the bee hoon whether it is salty. If not please put some more soy sauce..
Step 5
- After frying for a while, throw the cooked chicken into the wok and fry it and mix it some more
- Finally, pour in red wine...Pour in quite an amount of red wine. Make sure you taste it and Please don't get drunk ok..oh yeah this dish is not HALAL..ha ha ha....
