The Curvy Kitchen Goddess

Never add "kucai" in your fried Bihun. Not unless if you gonna eat them immediately. Else, strike it out from your list.

I don't like my Bihun to be soggy. Here are my tricks! Read on. I'll make sure I soak my Bihun for at least 30 good minutes. This should be enough to soften them. Set aside. Before I fry them this is what I will usually do. Boil some water. (whole kettle - approximately 1.8 litre) Place Bihun in the strainer. Throw in the water (evenly). I usually avoid soaking my Bihun with the boiling water, chances to end up with a soggy Bihun is high.

You may wait for few minutes until the chicken is half cooked. Now add ingredient B, stir from time to time until for about 3-4 mins or until they turn to slight golden brown. Reduce the heat, and add ingredient C except for the Chives, (i usually save it until the later part) you might want to add in some water, few spoons maybe, cover and let them simmer for few minutes until the carrot slightly soften. yo...
