Single Malt Whiskey in Beehoon Soup

I have a collection of single malt whiskey. I bought these when I used to travel quite a bit. But I don't really drink these days. Once or twice a year when friends come over. So what do I do with the whiskey??


Sometimes when I'm lazy to go out I would cook my own dinner.

My favourite is beehoon soup. I grow various vegetable in my garden so naturally that goes into the soup as well.


The recipe is simple.

1) Handful of Beehoon ( soak in water first)
2) Minced pork - 100g per person.
3) Lady's fingers (Okra) - 2 or 3
4) Spring onion
5) Maggi Ikan Bilis stock
6) 1 spoon of Cooking oil
7) 1 spoon of Soy sauce
8) half spoon Sesame oil
9) pinch of salt
10) half spoon of Flour

On the side, mix minced pork with cooking oil, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and flour and mix well.

Slice lady's fingers diagonally. Chop spring onion.

Fry the minced pork and lady's fingers for 5 mins and set aside.

Pour one bowl of water into a pot. Add a cube of ikan bills stock. Bring to boil. Add in beehoon and cook for 2 mins.

Once that's done, pour the content into a big bowl and add the cooked pork on top.

Sprinkle the spring onion and some pepper.

And finally add in one big spoon of single malt in the beehoon soup.

And you are ready to rock!!

Try it and let me know if you like it. You know those XO fish head beehoon soup that they sell in restaurants? I bet they done put in real XO brandy. My version is better.

In fact, if you want to add milk in the soup, you can try it too. I am personally not into that.

A note on the whiskey. If you think single malt is too precious for beehoon soup, replace with blended like Chivas. Don't used bourbon like Jack Daniels, it taste like shit with the soup.

P.S. If you are cooking for more than one person, cook each bowl individually to maintain consistency.
