Ingredients

Servings
  • fresh noodles instruction for handmade noodles, for serving

Side vegetables, adjust the amount accordingly

  • cucumber shredded, fresh, as needed
  • carrot shredded, as needed
  • scallion shredded, white part, as needed

Pork Sauce

  • 400 g pork or diced pork belly, minced
  • 1 inch ginger finely chopped, root
  • 2 cloves garlic ,minced
  • 2-3 tbsp. yellow bean paste ,see Note 1
  • 1-1.5 tbsp. sweet wheat paste ,tianmianjiang
  • 300 ml water warm
  • 1 tbsp. cooking wine
  • 1 tbsp. dark soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp. sugar

Instructions

  1. Add around 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in pan and fry the diced pork until withered and slightly browned. This is the process why we say it is “fried” sauce. Pour in Chinese cooking wine for a more pure taste. Move the pork to the edges of the pan, add garlic and ginger, fry over slow fire until aromatic. Slow down the fire, otherwise the ginger and garlic might be burnt.
  2. Pour in our mixed sauce, dark soy sauce and let it simmer for 15 minutes over slowest fire. Mix in sugar. If necessary, turn up the fire and thicken the sauce slightly.
  3. Blanch shredded carrot for around 30 seconds and cook the noodles according to the instruction. Top the sauce and serve immediately. Since this is a dry-mixed noodle dish, I high recommend matching it with a warm soup.

Notes

  • The paste is quite salty, if you want a lighter taste, use 2 tablespoons of yellow bean paste and 1 tablespoon of Tian Mian Jiang. For those who wants a stronger taste, use 3 tablespoons of yellow bean paste and 1.5 tablespoon of Tian Mian Jiang.
  • The pork gravy itself can be refrigerated in airtight container for around 1 week.
