My mum was the one who first introduced me to my love for mee hoon siam. If I recall correctly, I actually learnt the step by step recipe from her when I was in my late teens, cooked it a couple of times and well, I kinda put it at the back of my mind until the last 1 year or so. And of course, paying RM2.50 for a small pack of mee hoon siam @ Nyonya Colors with very little ingredients motivated me to whip up this quick and simple recipe as well!
Ingredients* Half a packet of mee hoon - soaked for 1 night
* 1 packet of cili giling (small packet @ RM0.70)
