Vegetarian bee hoon

It's the first time we've tried this bee hoon, which the SO tar-bao back from this vegetarian stall.

The cabbage had lots of carrots, the pumpkin looked fresh and bright, and the egg (with mushroom) was yummy.

I still don't know how this kind of egg was cooked, perhaps scrambled?

It's not exactly an egg omelette which is more flat and like, pan-fried.

These are like round bits of cooked egg with bits of other ingredients inside and aren't oily - quite common at chye png stalls.

Maybe someone can shed some light, e.g. cook it over low fire, must add water to the egg mixture, etc. ?

Since it is vegetarian, all must be non meat and diary. No milk/cream/butter to be added to the eggs mixture.Could it be blended onions/vege liquids into the eggs mixture and scrambled?
The noodle looks like spaghettini type.

That looks nice, not oily like some of the bee hoon stalls

Yes, cat aunty. That's what I thought too when I first saw it...fresh and nice, not with all those fried gluten stuff.

EJ: there are bits of chopped mushrooms in the egg. Actually, I wonder how come this vegetarian stall uses eggs, coz purer vegetarians/vegans don't eat eggs at all, in addition to no spring onions, garlic, onions, etc.

I once tried the vegetarian food in a Johore temple - the vege tasted plain & kind of "flat". It really lacks the "lift" which comes from saute-ed garlic.

Yeah, pure vegetarian food not supposed to add even onions or garlic.
This must be a partial vegetarian stall. still pretty healthy ingredients.
