Instructions
- If ho fun rice noodles have been refrigerated before, cover ho fun with a wet paper towel and microwave them for one or two minutes. (1 pack of ho fun rice noodles 32oz or 2 pounds.)
- Next, separate the ho fun, so it’s not stack together. It is easier to stir fry.
- Wash and cut 2 sticks of green onion into strips.
- After that, sliced ½ pound of beef into strips.

Notes
- Personally, I love beef chow fun and I like to make it at home using less oil. The tip is to use a non-stick pan and chopsticks to stir fry.
- I like to use fresh ho fun. If you cannot find fresh ho fun, use dry ho fun it works too.
- Although I can find fresh ho fun at the store nearby, most of the time they are refrigerated. Often, I microwave the ho fun noodles and cover with a wet paper towel for a minute or two to soften them first. It is easier to separate and stir fry them.
