Sweet MInced Meat Noodles (炸酱面)

0 comments


This is one dish that seems to have a wide variance in the ingredients that goes into the sauce. Being an amatuer, I have chosen to stick to the most basic recipe. I personally think that it is good enough for a quick-fix. The only 2 changes I have made to the original recipe are - added in some dried mushrooms and as well as some corn-starch to thicken the sauce so that it won't be too runny.
My Mum-in-Law recently made this with hoisin sauce because she ran out of Peking Dip Sauce. The sauce was yummy!! I shall attempt that one of these days.


Ingredients:

  • 4 teaspoon garlic/shallots (chopped)
  • ½ cucumber (shredded)
  • 500g minced pork
  • 4 dried mushroom (soaked overnight and diced)
  • 4 tablespoon Peking Dip Sauce (甜面酱)
  • 2 teaspoon light soya sauce
  • 2 tablespoon dark soya sauce
  • 400g flat white noodles (either Shanghai noodles or La-Mien)
  • 80ml water
  • 3 teaspoon corn flour


Preparation:

  • Cook the noodles, drain and leave aside. 
  • Remove core and seeds from the cucumber. Cut into thin strips. 
  • Mix the corn flour with 80ml of water 
  • Heat wok, add the oil. 
  • Add garlic/shallots and stir fry until slightly brown. 
  • Add the minced pork and stir fry till the pork is cooked. 
  • Add in the mushroom when the minced pork is 90% done. 
  • Add Peking Dip Sauce, light and dark soya sauce. 
  • Add in corn-starch and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
