Stir Fried Rice Vermicelli [Economy Fried Bee Hoon ]

I believe this is the simplest stir fry beehoon [no frills] which can be found usually in the wet market areas all year round and most of the temporary vegetarian food stalls.  But the appearance should look slightly different because most of the stalls will add very little greens. This noodle usually enjoy brisk business on the 1st and 15th day of the lunar month because many of the Taoists and  Buddhists will go vegetarian on these 2 days of the month.

Usually, I would prefer to add more beansprouts and mustard leaves when frying the noodles.
