Sesame Pork and Mushrooms Noodles Recipe (Lo Mein)

By tulawdog

Ingredients

• 3 flat noodles (dried variety)
• Water for boiling the noodles
• 4 cloves garlic, minced (I used smoked garlic)
• 1/4 pound pork, minced (you can use store-bought ground pork)
• 5 stalks boy choy, chopped thinly
• 3 large shitake mushrooms (dried or fresh), chopped thinly
• 2 red chilli peppers ( sliced)
• Handful of toasted sesame seeds
• 1-2 tsps light soy sauce
• 1 tbsp abalone sauce
• 1 tbsp mirin
• 2 tsp Chinese Rice Wine (Shaoxing Wine)
• Dash of sesame oil

Preparation

Step 1

Method:

Firstly, boil the noodles according to packet instructions and then run under some cold water after boiling to remove the starchiness. Place noodles in serving dish. Mix the ground pork with the chopped up bok choy and mushrooms with a pair of chopsticks. Add a sprinkling of salt and sesame oil. Set aside.

Saute the garlic in 2 tbsps of cooking oil atop medium heat until fragrant. Add a dash of light soy sauce. Add the ground pork mixture in and stir-fry around briskly. Add in the abalone sauce and Chinese rice wine to the wok. Stir to mix well. I did not add any water as there is moisture in the pork. Stir-fry until pork is throughly cooked - once cooked, spoon on top of previously cooked noodles. Sprinkle some chopped chilli peppers and sesame seeds before tossing. Serve hot.
