Lebanese rice with chicken
SINGAPORE
Mee hoon birthday is a Singaporean favorite. This vermicelli dish packs a punch with veggies and protein. It’s a go-to for parties, feeding crowds with diverse tastes. The noodles symbolize a long life in Chinese culture.
Aini, a lifelong Singaporean, submitted this recipe. She said mee hoon is common at birthday celebrations, especially among Malay Singaporeans. As a mom, she now sees birthdays as a chance to honor her mother and celebrate her own kids’ milestones with this dish.
To make mee hoon birthday, start by soaking the noodles. Blend shallots and garlic into a paste. Fry this mixture in oil until it reduces. Add your proteins – fish balls, beef, and shrimp. Toss in a stock cube and pepper. Next, add the noodles and veggies. Stir-fry, adding water as needed. The goal is moist noodles without excess liquid. Top with fried onions or chilies if you like.
I was surprised by how flavorful this dish is. The bullion cube really packs a punch. The thin-sliced beef cooked quickly, not overdone. Cutting carrots into matchsticks was tricky, but worth it for the texture. This dish is perfect for parties. It’s easy to make, customizable, and crowd-pleasing. Who doesn’t love noodles? I’d definitely make this for my own birthday bash.
