Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine sugar, cornstarch, and water. Mix well and set aside.
- In a large pan on medium heat, add vegetable oil or any neutral oil and fry black bean paste for 2-3 minutes stirring constantly. Pour black bean paste and oil into a separate bowl, leaving about 1 tablespoon of oil in the pan. Strain and discard the excess oil and reserve the black bean paste.
- Fry pork belly in the same oiled pan until cooked and browned on edges. This pork fat will make the sauce extra delicious so don't pour it out.
- Add onions and green onions and fry until softened. Then add in zucchini and cabbage and fry until softened.
- Add cooked pork and black bean paste. Mix well. Give your cornstarch slurry another mix and pour it into pan and mix well. Simmer the black sauce until it’s thickened.
- Season sauce with oyster sauce.
- In a large pot filled with water, bring to a boil and boil the noodles on high heat uncovered for 3-4 minutes until al dente. Strain noodles immediately. Do not rinse off with cold water.
- Transfer cooked noodles to a large serving bowl. Pour the sauce over the noodles. Garnish with julienned cucumber and mix to enjoy!
