We had lucheon meat, so we made this really simple luncheon meat fried beehoon (rice vercimelli).
This is such an easy recipe for lazy days and you can cook a big batch to eat for breakfast and lunch (and dinner!).
I didn’t use a lot seasoning for this because the luncheon meat and fried fish cake are already salty. So please season to taste and adjust accordingly. I also fried the omelette separately before we cooked the noodles.
You will find a lot of stalls selling this for breakfast in Malaysia – but you can eat it anytime of the day.
