Fried Tung Hoon

My domestic helper is not around. She has brought my younger boy to Popular to get his Geronimo Stilton books. I have no idea what to cook and didn't feel like buying from outside. Finally decided to just fry a simple tung hong for dinner. This is a really simple dish and you can add whatever ingredients you have in the fridge or fancy. This is my version.

Fried Tung Hoon (Hugbear)

1 pkt of tung hoon (dried glass noodles) abt 250 gm
3 eggs
some mince garlic some french beans sliced thinly
some carrot cut into thin stripes
5 or 6 pieces of dried mushrooms (soak in hot water till soft and cut into thin stripes)
some fresh prawns, shelled

Sauce (mix together in a bowl)
2 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tsp fish sauce
1 tbsp sugar
250 ml of chicken stock (mix 250 ml of water with 1 tbsp of Maggie concentrated chicken stock)
Method: Heat some oil in a wok. Scramble eggs till foamy and then add in chopped garlic. Fry for a while then add in carrot, french beans, mushroom and prawns. Cook for a minute or so.

Add in tung hoon and pour sauce over it. Fry the tung hoon and let it soak up the sauce. If tang hoon gets too dry, you can add more chicken stock. Fry until the sauce is almost dried up. Sprinkle some crushed black pepper and mix well. Transfer to a serving dish, and you can sprinkle with some fried shallots and coriander leaves if you like before serving.

Hugbear said...

Yes, you can just omit the fish sauce and maybe increase the amount of light soya sauce to taste.

Hi hugbear


I have your fried tung hoon. My mum found it too bland but to me is ok.

Hugbear said...

Maybe for your mom's plate you can add a little more fish sauce for her. To me, I find this just nice too.

shouldnt the tung hoon be soaked first?

Hugbear said...

Yes the dried tung hoon must be soaked first before use. Just like what we will do to bee hoon.

Can I ask a question ?? My tang hoon sticks together forming tang hoon lumps when i fry or boil them. it also sticks to the bottom of the wok when i fry them. How do i stop that from happening ?? thanks for your advice in advance. : )

What you can do is fry garlic, onion first. Then add other ingredients like prawns, fish cake, etc. Then add either plain water or chicken stock and seasoning to your stock. If you like the tang hoon to look brown, add some dark soya sauce and do a taste test. If taste is ok, add the soaked tang hoon. Let the tang hoon soak up the sauce for a while before stirring and mixing it well. In this way, you will not have lumps of tang hoon or tang hoon sticking to the bottom of your wok.
