Pan Fried Cheong Fun with XO Sauce 煮野有take 2之再生腸粉

Pan Fried Cheong Fun with XO Sauce
I wish I could have this for breakfast every day.
I love the slightly crispy edges of the cheong fun (Chinese rice rolls), then the softness, and all kinds of tasty bits from the XO sauce....perfect with a cup of hot tea.
Hmmm, maybe I could have this every day.
It's easy to prepare after all...

真係想日日都有得食哩個早餐
鐘意食D焦焦地脆脆地既腸粉, 加埋XO醬同杯茶就完美了!

Pan Fried Cheong Fun with XO Sauce
I didn't make my own cheong fun, of course. It's the combination of laziness, lack of skills, and my chronic obsession with short-cuts.

腸粉係酒樓飲早茶食淨, 大家都可以係出面買

Simply use store bought cheong fun, pan fry with lots of XO sauce and a touch of light soy sauce until the exterior of the cheong fun gets just a bit crispy. I used generous amount of XO Sauce from Mandarin Oriental, super yummy!

煎香D腸粉, 落D XO醬, 攪掂

Serve with a good pot of tea. Perfect.

    I was just about to say - why can't you have this everyday (as long as you have that XO sauce and accessibility to cheong fun)? I am the one to say ...I wish I could...

    this is one of my favourite hk snack!! but a lot restaurants didn't do it well. it's either their xo sauce sux or they are stingy on their xo sauce or both.

    Oh I wouldn't mind having this for breakfast every day either... would be even nicer if my better half does the frying since he's got a better handle on the wok, hehe. :P

    Yummy, we have this dish in the restaurant here too. I should go buy some cheong fun and fry it myself.

    I would have this every day for breakfast too...! But how unfortunate that I can't even get fresh cheong fun here (as usual, I'm missing all those delicious things in life ;) - I know I love to exaggerate...!)

    i tried this already! i found it hard to pan-fry the rice rolls though. they kind of stick together in the pan like SUPERGLUE! =_= maybe it's the brand of rice rolls which i bought that isnt very gd. i also found that the sides dont crisp, so my version wasnt crispy at all, >_<

    but the xo sauce was a saver, yumms!
