Always love a good Hor Fun but it can be quite challenging to cook this at home because of the lack of “wok hei” or ??, the typical charred-ness required of Hor Fun to be considered it tasty as the flame of heat from our stove at home is weaker than the one at the commercial stores. However this San Lou Hor Fun is slightly different as it does not necessary need the Hor Fun to be “charred” to be tasty. The gist of this dish comes from the “San Lou” which I believe it involves the cooking of the 3 ingredients separately – the Hor Fun, the beansprouts, the fish cum the gravy of the dish before coming together as a one-dish.

I used Toman fish slices for this dish though you can replace it with other types of white fish. I also choose the option of cooking the beansprouts separately instead of cooking it with the gravy so that they remains crunchy at the end when enjoying the dish. This dish is pretty quick and easy to beef up and taste absolutely tasty. While I hope there can be smaller servings of Hor Fun being sold since there isn’t so many mouths for me to feed, the smallest I can find in our local supermarket is a 1kg one, which can probably serve 4 pax.
