Hakka Loh Si Fun with Minced Meat

Not too sure if this falls under Sabah food but cos' it is Hakka food maybe it is. I need confirmation from Mary Chey of A Pepper's Love.  The braised mince meat can be prepared earlier and the rest of ingredients during serving time.   
The original recipe used Loh Shi Fun but I also served the minced meat with rice.  Both are as good. 
Serving with Loh Shi Fun
[serves 2-3]
500 gm loh shi fun [bee tai bak]
200 gm beansprouts
2 stalks spring onions - diced
2 tbsp fried shallots
1 tbsp shallot oil [optional]
2 red chillies - sliced and mix with 2 tbsp light soy sauce
  1. Blanched noodles and taugeh in boiling water.  Drain and place in serving bowl.
  2. Top with minced meat, spring onions,  fried shallots and shallot oil.
  3. Serve with red chillies in soy sauce.
