Nutrition Information: Beef Hor Fun

Beef Hor Fun
Beef Hor Fun is a popular Singaporean meal coming from Cantonese origin. It is made by stir-frying beef, wide rice noodles (hor fun), bean sprouts and black bean sauce. It comes in two varieties: Dry-fried (fried without sauce) or Wet-fried (fried with a sauce). Apparently the secret to cooking it successfully is that it must be cooked over a high flame and the stirring must be done quickly without handling it too strongly or it will break into pieces. -sounds complicated – 🙂
Like all typical local Singapore meals it’s mainly carbohydrate and high in fat. The Singaporean diet is comprised of nearly 80% carbohydrate with protein being of least importance. Infact, Singaporeans eat more fat than meat! This in itself is causing many health problems including high cholesterol, high blood pressure and Type 2 Diabetes. With the cheap, fatty and carb dominant meals bought at local hawker food stalls up to 3 meals per day – making the switch to fresh & steamed vegetables and protein dominant food is almost impossible. In my opinion big changes need to occur as soon as possible to avoid swamping medical care in the near future.
