Dry Beef Hor Fun
So excited to share with you another local favourite! This Cantonese dish is also very popular overseas, widely known as Beef Chow Fun. It took me about 20 minutes, requires very simple ingredients, but the end result is spectacular! Smoky chow fun with tender beef, and crunch from the bean sprouts! My mouth is already watering!
