Roasted Pork Noodle


If I can’t skip cooking after a busy day, I prefer something simple and easy.

Normally, I will drop by the Chinese BBQ-To-Go Restaurant on my way heading home. The restaurant has several different varieties to choose from: roasted duck, roasted pork, barbecued pork, soy sauce chicken, steamed chicken, etc. Soy sauce chicken is my favorite among all.

But today, I choose roasted pork which cost me about $10.00 for the pork belly portion. When back home, all I need is to prepare the noodle, vegetable and sauce, which takes me about half an hour.

Sauce
Ingredients:
1. light soy sauce
2. black soy sauce
3. oyster sauce
4. sugar
5. salt
6. black pepper
7. sesame oil
8. hot water

Again, I don’t have an exact measurement of each of the sauce ingredients above. My secret is adding a little bit portion of each. Trust me, add a little bit of all sauces that you have in your kitchen will create an unexpected amazing taste. It is a magic, at least it works for me.

Noodle
1. a pack of wonton noodle
2. a pot of boiling water

Make sure your have enough boiling water to cover the noodle. Add some cooking oil and boil the noodle for one to two minutes, depends on how tender you like. Rinse the noodle under cold water for few seconds, drain the excess water and set aside.

Vegetable
Pick any vegetable you like, for example, broccoli, pak choi, spinach, or any green vegetables. Bring a pot of water to boil, add a little salt and cooking oil into the boiling water. Add the vegetables and continue to boil for about a minute. Discard the water and set aside the vegetables.

Now you are almost done. Arrange the noodles in the middle of a plate. Top the noodle with roasted pork and vegetables. Finally, pour in the sauce. You can add some deep fried shallots for extra flavor
