Serves 3-4

Ingredients:

2 cakes fried noodles, about 200 gm
4-5 Chinese mushrooms (soak until tender)
100 gm lean pork
85 gm bean sprouts
45 gm Chinese chives
1/5 carrot (shredded)
2 Tbsp ginger (cut into strips)
1/2 cup chicken stock

Seasoning for Chinese mushrooms:

1 tsp light soy sauce
1/4 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp cooking oil
1/4 tsp cornflour
1/4 Shaoxing wine

Seasoning for shredded pork:

1 tsp light soy sauce
1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp cornflour
1/2 tsp sesame oil

Thickening:

1/2 Tbsp light soy sauce
1 Tbsp oyster sauce
2 Tbsp water
1 tsp cornflour
Dash of sesame oil
Pinch of white pepper

Method:

1. Rinse the soak black mushrooms. Slice black mushrooms and combine with seasoning, steam on high heat for 20 minutes with a lid on. Set aside.

2. Trim away the head and root of bean sprouts. Rinse and drain well. Section chives. Cut carrots into long strips. Marinate shredded pork with seasoning for 20 minutes.

3. Blanch noodles in boiling water about 3 to 5 minutes until done, according to the instructions of the packet. Drain well, sprinkle a pinch of salt and a dash of light soy sauce. Mix well with the noodles. Set aside.

4. Heat oil in a wok, sauté ginger strips until aromatic. Discard the ginger or let it stay according to your preference.

5. Fry both sides of noodles over high heat until lightly brown. While frying noodles, you don’t need to stir them, just like the way of frying a sunny egg.

6. If you like eating crispy noodles, then add more oil and use higher heat to fry longer time until you’re satisfied with the result. Or you might like to pop them in the oven to bake until crispy. When noodles are done, remove them onto a platter.

7. Heat oil over medium heat. Sauté shredded pork until cooked through. Add black mushrooms, carrots and stir fry for a while. Toss in bean sprouts and cook until tender.

8. Add chives and pour in chicken stock. Bring it to a boil. Add thickening and cook until preferred consistency. Pour over noodles and serve.
