Instructions

  1. Pour 5 cups of water in the bowl.
  2. Soak 14 oz of the pickled snow cabbage vegetables for 30-45 minutes. (I used one pound of sher li hon (雪里红/雪里蕻) to make around 14 oz pickled snow cabbage. See details for how to make pickled snow cabbage post.)
  3. Squeeze the pickled snow cabbage vegetable very well to remove excess water from soaking it.
  4. Then, cut the preserved Chinese snow cabbage vegetables into small pieces.
  5. Cut 1 medium sized Fresno chili pepper. (This is optional.)
  6. After that, cut 11 oz of pork (country style pork ribs boneless) into strips.
  7. Next, put the cut pork into a bowl, add 2 teaspoons of garlic powder, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of sugar and 1 teaspoon of cornstarch.
  8. Mix it well and let it marinate for 15 minutes before cooking.
  9. Turn on medium small fire, add the marinated pork from step 8 into the non-stick pan.
  10. Loose up the pork and keep stir frying until it changes color, around 3-4 minutes.
  11. After, add the pickled snow cabbage vegetable from step 4 into the pork. Stir fry them a little bit.
  12. Add the chili pepper from step 5 if you like to add a little more flavor. (This is optional.)
  13. The following step, pour 6 cups of water into the pot and turn on the fire medium.
  14. When the water is boiling, add 2 pieces of rice noodle (8 oz) into the pot, turn the fire to small and let it cook until the noodle is soft. ( I used Three Ladies brand rice noodles, it is a little bit thicker. Therefore, I cooked for 8 minutes. Different brands of rice noodles, the cooking time may vary. Please follow the instructions on the package.)
  15. When the noodles are done, drain the rice noodles. (Don't discard the boiling water for the noodles because I used it for the broth.)
  16. Put some cooked rice noodles from step 15 into the bowl.
  17. Top 2-3 tablespoons of stir fry pork and pickled snow cabbage vegetable from step 12 on the cooked rice noodle. (You can add more or less depending on your taste or saltiness.)
  18. Lastly, pour the boiled noodle water into the bowl. (I used boiled noodle water as the broth for this recipe because the pork and pickled vegetables are salty and have a lot of flavor.) Or, you can use chicken broth instead.

Notes

  • Homemade pickled snow cabbage vegetables 3-4 days before. Or, you can use store bought ones. 
  • Rinse and soak the pickled snow cabbage vegetable for 30-45 minutes because it is salty. 
  • Marinate pork for at least 15 minutes before stir frying. 
  • If you like spicy food, you can add chili. This is optional.
  • Put 2-3 tablespoons of the pork and pickled snow cabbage into the noodle soup. Or, add to your taste. 
  • Refrigerate or freeze the extra stir fry pork and pickled snow cabbage vegetables.
