Review of My Cooking Style Fried Bee Hoon

Serves 1

¼ standard packet of dried rice vermicelli - Tried the Wheat Vermicelli (What a disaster)
¼ cup julienned carrot - Done
¼ cup beansprouts - Substituted with an Eggplant
2 shiitake mushrooms, sliced - Could not find Mushrooms in Mombasa
2 cloves garlic, chopped - Done
2 tbs vegetable oil (preferable peanut) - Done
Dash of thin soy sauce - Forgot
Dash of dark soy sauce - Forgot
White pepper powder - Forgot
Fried shallots, for garnish - Forgot
Cilantro, for garnish - Forgot
Sambal belacan, to serve (optional) – what the hell.

Soak vermicelli in cold water until slightly softened (about half an hour). major backfiring resulted to substituting with spagetti

In a hot frying pan, stir fry garlic in oil until fragrant. Add carrot, mushrooms and beansprouts. Cook until vegetables are just soft.

Add noodles, dash of thin and dark soy, and pepper. Toss well. Taste for seasoning, adding more thin soy as needed. Don’t overcook noodles.

Serve immediately with fried shallots, cilantro and sambal belacan

My Love of Shawarma

Online pic of a guy making Shawarma

Now lets talk about food, lol.

Shawarma is a little piece of heaven, right here on Earth.

There is this Lebanese guy down the road from where I work, he opened from 3pm to when his stock lasts.

Now chicken Shawarma is this Lebanese specialty, people will pass tarbush to the guy in the yellow converted pickup with a Shawarma machine selling hot shawarma’s with the best pita bread.

Now i love my Shawarma with no garnishes, just the flavoured chicken and the pita bread with ketchup. wow thats heaven. he charges like 200kshs - approx 2.50$

. Tarbush..........

What is Shawarma?

Shawarma is thinly sliced cuts of meat, like chicken, beef, goat, lamb, and sometimes turkey, rolled into a large piece of pita bread that has been steamed or heated. Inside the pita, foods like pickles, vegetables, and even french fries are added.

Think of Shawarma as a taco or burrito Middle Eastern style.

Look me up in when you come to my neck of the woods and i will treay you to this delicacy........... i promise.
