Kerabu Bee Hoon Salad
We wanted to do something a little different and make a delicious Asian noodle salad. We’ve combined fresh vegetables, prawns, and our favourite local flavours in this healthy dish. Unlike many other beehoon recipes, this one uses very little oil, making it a great treat for lunch or even a light dinner.
