Economy Char Bee Hoon
When I was working in Singapore, I would normally pack something for breakfast as I do not have time to sit in coffee shops or hawker centres for a leisure breakfast. If my office is near McD, then I will pack their Big Breakfast as that can last me the entire day till dinner. Other than that, I will either get a packet of nasi lemak or the popular economy char bee hoon.
Now that I don’t go to work anymore, I kind of yearn for those taste so I decided to bring back some memories by preparing my own… This is one of PiggyBeng’s favorite too as both of us went through the same type of lifestyle in Singapore….

Methods
- Soak the rice noodles till soft. Slightly pan fry the luncheon meat slices till fragrant. Fry the eggs *sunny side up*.
- Heat up wok with 2 tbsp oil and saute the chopped garlic till it starts to turn golden. Pour in the pre-soaked rice noodles and continue to stir, add in the black sauce to desired tone, stir and add in enough water before covering the wok for at least 5 minutes but stirring occasionally.
- Add in the light soy sauce and stir before adding in the bean sprouts. Continue stirring (add a little of oil if need be) and when the bean sprouts started to soften, turn off the fire.
- Serve hot with luncheon meat and egg together with some sambal belacan.
