- Preparation: 30 min
- Cooking: 20 min
- Makes: 1 serving (469 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Dairy-free
- Contains: gluten, pork, soy
Ingredients
- 120 g Flour, all-purpose
- 0.6 g Salt
- 55 g Water
- 18 g Black bean sauce
- 80 g Pork shoulder, raw
- 40 g Potatoes, raw
- 40 g Zucchini, raw
- 50 g Onions, raw
- 40 g Cabbage, green, raw
- 5 g Cornstarch
- 8 g Sugar
- 12 g Vegetable oil
Method
- Knead the flour, salt and water into a firm, smooth dough, cover, and rest for at least 20 minutes.
- Roll the dough out thinly and cut into noodle strands, then dust with a little extra flour so they do not stick together.
- Dice the pork, potato, zucchini, onion and cabbage into small, even cubes.
- Heat half the oil in a pan and fry the black bean sauce stand-in over low heat for 2-3 minutes to mellow its raw edge, then set it aside.
- Heat the remaining oil, brown the pork for 3-4 minutes, then add the onion, potato, zucchini and cabbage and stir-fry for 5 minutes until nearly tender.
- Stir the fried bean sauce and sugar back in with enough water to loosen it into a thick sauce, and simmer for 5 minutes; mix the cornstarch with a splash of water and stir in to thicken.
- Boil the fresh noodles for 2-3 minutes until tender, drain, and top with the black bean sauce to serve.
