Fresh Mushrooms N Garlic sauté - Fusion Style on Bee Hoon!

My friend, S, was cooking a full meal for the first time for her husband. So I suggested that she do a garlic and mushroom sauté to top over her spaghetti. Anyway she did a great job with her husband giving her 7.4 points out of 10! Seeing the picture of her food made me want to cook and eat it too. Just a few pieces of mushrooms for me though.

I did not pick this recipe up from anywhere, not even through googling. It was  just created from the memory of my one and only Italian restaurant meal with my family almost 20 years ago. The taste has never left my mind since. Anyway I have lots of beehoon inside the fridge so I will use that instead of spaghetti. It becomes a western-chinese fusion then... :S
