If you’re looking to clear up any leftover ingredients you have left in your fridge, give this Chicken Mei Fun a try! It’s an incredibly versatile and flexible dish where you can swap out the veggies or even the chicken with any protein of your choice.

Mei Fun or Bihun Goreng

Chicken Mei Fun is a Chinese stir fry dish that’s traditionally made using thin rice Mei Fun noodles such as rice vermicelli. And though it’s a pretty easy and simple dish where one just throws everything together, it’s one of those comforting meals that’s rich, savory, and flavorful.

The bones of this dish is similar to the Malaysian-style noodle cult favorite called Bihun Goreng (aka Mee Hoon Goreng), which literally translates to fried rice vermicelli noodles. However, certain bihun goreng recipes calls for blended dried chilis (cili kisar) for that spicy oomph that most Malaysians love.

There’s really no wrong time for you to enjoy it – be it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner!

Another thing to note is the difference between this recipe and the one for Singapore Mei Fun. The latter uses curry powder as its special ingredient that lends to its beautiful bright yellow color.

Notes for Chicken Mei Fun (Bihun Goreng)

  • Protein & Veggies – Feel free to use any protein or vegetables you want. This is a great way to finish up those leftover veggies that you have in the fridge before it goes bad.
  • Don’t oversoak noodles – Very important to not overcook/soak the noodles for too long or it will be too soft and break.
  • Toss noodles with chopsticks to prevent breakage – Using tongs/spatula will usually cause the noodles to break. I find that the best way is to use chopsticks and lightly toss it. You can do so with two spatulas too. Do not over cook.

Savory Oatmeal @farahjeats I’m a savory kind o Savory Oatmeal @farahjeats 
I’m a savory kind of girl and have always preferred my oatmeals savory. Some people think it’s weird, I say don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. The best part? You can be creative with this! I’ve added pesto to my oatmeal before and it was delicious.
I also prefer a thicker oatmeal, add more water if you don’t. 
Would you try this or are you sticking to your sweet oatmeal? 😋
