SATAY BEE HOON
Satay Bee Hoon is a hybrid between Malay Cuisine and Chinese Cuisine and is basically thin rice noodles with spicy peanuts sauce .
The allure of this dish lies in the satay sauce (hence its name) and how it combines with the rest of the ingredients. The Satay Bee Hoon sauce is a chilli-based peanut sauce very similar to the one served with Satay. The gravy should not be too thick so as to be heavy, or too watery so there is insufficient flavour , the peanuts should not be ground too fine so that it adds a crunchy bite to each mouthful.
It is usually served with a few stalks of kangkong (water spinach), beansprouts, slices of cuttlefish and fried fish cake, pork slices and cockles.
While the satay sauce is prepared at the start of business, the rest of the ingredients are cooked only when orders are placed. Bee Hoon that has been soaked and steamed is dipped into boiling water, along with cuttlefish, kang kong, bean sprouts, pork slices, prawns and cockles. All this is placed on a plate and the Satay sauce is ladled liberally over.
