BEEF HOR FUN
Beef Hor Fun, also known as Beef Kway Teow, is the beef version of the Kway Teow dishes and is a favourite dish , commonly found at Cze Cha stalls.
The Hor Fun is first pre-fried so that the smoky wok "hei" smell is steeped into the noodle itself. When ordering, you should ask for the "si chap" version, meaning that you want fermented black beans in the mix. The beans, chilli and garlic will bring out the flavour of the beef, which is sliced into thin pieces. To complete the dish, the cook will fry the pre-fried Hor Fun and beef mixture together with green vegetables and sliced large onions some will also add cut chillies for a slightly spicy taste. The finished product is quite wet, with a starchy gravy.
Some stalls serve a drier version of the Beef Hor Fun. For this, the Hor Fun is pre-fried and kept aside until it is needed to fulfill an order , the thin pieces of beef are tenderised and marinated with salt, pepper and papaya juice .
Hor Fun (the transliteration from Cantonese and spelled in many other ways) is the same as Shahe Fen or He Fen (the transliterations from Standard Mandarin) and is a type of Chinese white flat rice noodles with an elastic texture , a bit chewy and slippery . Although strictly and tehnically they are not the same , Hor Fun or Shahe Fen is often synonymously called Kway Teow , another type of rice noodles (meaning ricecake strips)
