Bee Hoon (Vermicelli) ala school canteen style

Us girls were whatsapping one day and talked about bee hoon.  Stace asked how I make mine, so here's the step by step as promised.

Ingredients:
One packet of beehoon (I always use Wai Wai brand)
Onions
Oil
Seasonings:
Dark soy sauce
Light soy sauce
Korean soy sauce
Sugar
Pepper
Maggi seasoning
Chicken stock


Here, I soak the bee hoon in warm water by mixing 2/3 boiling water with cold water.

 
I take the beehoon out and drain.

 
Next, I cut the onions into wedges.

 
Then I heat up the wok by putting in some oil (I must have put in 4 tbsp. of oil)

 
When the wok is hot, I sauté the onion wedges.

 
After the onion is brown but not softened, I add in the bee hoon. Here I turned the fire to low heat.

 
Here's my seasoning.

 
I season the bee hoon to taste and toss the behoon so they are well mixed.

 
Here the bee hoon is now cooked.

 
Finally I moved the bee hoon into another bowl.  I garnish the bee hoon with shredded omelettes and spring onions (Pic not included)
 
I call it school canteen beehoon as it used to just contain bee hoon and no other ingredients (as in no meat or eggs added). We like to eat this bee hoon with curry or anything that is saucy. It is nice eaten cold so I have brought it along to picnics as well :)
 
Let me know how your bee hoon goes the next time you try it.
