Fried Beef Hor Fun with Gravy is a type of noodle dish made with wide rice noodles drenched on an Asian style gravy served with tender slices of beef and Asian greens. I tried this dish when I lived in Malaysia and was a fan of it together with other noodle dishes drenched in gravy, it’s just so satisfying munching on something with a thick savory gravy and this is not an exception, it’s delicious and it’s so comforting.

  • Hi, thanks for this recipe! I made this tonight and it came out just as I imagined! The only change I did was instead of 500ml of beef stock I used less than 1 cup and that was still plenty of gravy for me. Again, thanks for such a delicious recipe!






  • Omg, this was fantastic! It was all about the char, but the result was great. I used wide sweet potato noodles and they were perfect. Such an impressive recipe!
