Black Bean Noodles


  • Ingredients:
    • 2 servings Chinese noodles
    • 1/4 green cabbage, diced into inch-thick pieces
    • 1 zucchini, small diced
    • 1 onion, small diced
    • 1/2 carrot, finely diced
    • about 200 grams pork belly, sliced
    • 1/4 cup oil
    • 1/3 cup black bean paste
    • 1 Tablespoon minced garlic
    • 2 Tablespoons soy sauce
    • 2 Tablespoons oyster sauce
    • 2 eggs (optional)
    • 1 cucumber (optional)

  • Recipe:
    • cook the noodles according to package directions
    • drain the noodles, but keep the noodle water!!
    • rinse the drained noodles in cold water and set aside
    • cut all the vegetables and meat and get them ready
    • heat up oil on medium heat in a wide bottom, deep pan
    • put the black bean paste in and stir fry it until it separates from one big mass and slightly incorporates into the oil – it should take about 2 minutes
    • pour the fried paste into a strainer with a bowl on the bottom to save the oil in the bowl and catch all the paste in the strainer
    • in the pan, put in the pork belly and stir-fry until the outside is cooked
    • add about 2-3 Tablespoons of the oil you saved (and fried the bean paste in) and turn the heat to high
    • add all the vegetables – cabbage, zucchini, onion, carrot, and garlic
    • stir fry until all the vegetables are softened – about 8-10 minutes
    • mix in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and all the fried black bean paste
    • stir until every vegetable is coated
    • pour in 1 cup of the noodle water you saved
    • let it boil on high heat until some of the water has evaporated and the mixture you have in the pan is thick and saucy
    • turn off the heat
    • separate the noodles into 2 large bowls
    • spoon the black bean sauce on the top
    • you can top it with thinly sliced cucumber and a fried egg – but don’t fret if you don’t have it!
    • now serve! mix it all up and enjoy~
