Sesame noodles with bbq pork
I love noodles and now that the weather is warming up, I’ve been thinking about a cold noodle dish that a friend of mine has brought to potlucks. I’ve modified the recipe and feel like I have a solid dish that is ready for the world. I quick run to Chinatown to pick up some bbq pork and some fresh egg noodles is key.
Ingredients
- 1 lb egg noodles
- 1/2 lb Chinese bbq pork
- 2 thinly sliced green onions
- 4 tbsp chopped cilantro
- 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
Sauce
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 3 tbsp black vinegar
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp rice wine
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp hot chili oil
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients for the sauce into a small pot. Over medium heat, cook the sauce on a low boil. Using a wooden spoon, stir the liquid until the sugar melts. Once melted, remove from heat and let cool. Once cool, pour the sauce into a container and store in the refrigerator until ready to use. This can be made a day ahead.
- Cook the egg noodles in boiling water. For fresh egg noodles, which I use, boil for about 4 minutes. You can taste a noodle to check for doneness. When cooked, strain the noodles in a colander and run cold water on it. The noodles can then be placed in the refrigerator until ready to use. This can be made a day ahead.
- When ready to serve, transfer the noodles into a large bowl and pour the sauce over the noodles. Add the bbq pork, sesame seeds, green onions, and cilantro. Mix well.
