FRIED RICE VERMICELLI [MEEHOON]

Weekend light meals.  A simple stir fry rice vermicelli [meehoon] that is easy to prepare and if you feel a fried meehoon is insufficient for your family or yourself, feel free to  pre-cooked a sweet potato soup, red bean soup or green beans soup etc in a slow cooker.  
Red Beans Soup [recipe here]
A savoury meehoon and a sweet dessert is just perfect to enjoy in the comfort of our cozy home, instead of bringing the whole family out for a light meal.  Don't forget the weather is unpredictable these days [rainy or humid weather].

This fried meehoon tastes good just with these seasoning.  You can marinate the pork shreds with a pinch of salt, pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of cornflour for added flavour.
Awesome.

Seasoning
2 tbsp light soy sauce
