stir-fried tang hoon with pork belly, prawns and vegetables

I like tang hoon. It is not my favourite noodle, but it makes a nice change from the yellow noodles and the kuay teows and that, coupled with the fact that it is a really easy noodle to cook, makes it my go-to when I am in a rush or at a loss as to what to cook for lunch or dinner.


This dish cooked up in 10 minutes.

The first thing I did was to marinate the pork with light soy sauce, sesame oil, grounded white pepper and corn flour.



I also shelled and de-veined some prawns, and shredded a carrot and cut a bunch of vegetables.




In a wok, I sauteed some minced garlic for about 30 seconds.


I added the pork and continued to stir-fry for another 2- 3 minutes.


Then in went the prawns, carrot and vegetables.




Once the vegetables had wilted, I added the tang hoon which had been soaked in boiling water for 2 minutes and then drained.



I added fish sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce and grounded white pepper. And mixed everything together.


 

I served the tang hoon immediately.


A quick and easy but totally satisfying meal!
