One-pot Long Beans, Pork & Noodles

This is a very popular way to cook noodles in China.

1. Heat a pan, add in a little oil. Sear pork belly slices. Pork better has some fat, so pork belly is a good choice.

2. Add in chopped long beans. Stir fry till surface has some wrinkles on it.

3. Add in 1 tsp cooking wine, 1 tsp light soy sauce, 1/2 tsp dark soy sauce, 1 tsp oyster sauce, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp white pepper, 1/2 tsp five spice powder and 1 tsp sugar. Stir fry evenly.

4. Place noodles on the top. Fresh soft noodles are the best choice. But if you use regular dry noodles, please boil them in advance till almost half cooked.

5. Pour in one small bowl of water along the pan. Cover the lid. Simmer till it dries up. Then add in another bowl of water. And simmer again. So this step is to steam the noodles.

6. When sauce reduces, turn to high heat. Remove the lid. Mix noodles well with sauce.

Serve hot.

2. Heat 1-2 tablespoon oil in the pan.

5. Pour the sauce into pan. Stir till sugar melts.

When I don’t have much time to cook, I always choose fried noodles to make a simple but delicious meal.

Vegetable part:

1 small onion, 1 stalk leek, 1 small carrot, 1/8 head of casbahs, 1/2 cup bean sprouts.

Expect bean sprouts, chop other vegetables into shreds. Cabbage can be a little thicker.

Prepare sauce:

1 tablespoon light soy sauce

2 tsp sesame oil

2 tbsp dark soy sauce

1 tsp sugar

Mix them well in a small bowl.

If you choose raw noodles, you need to precook them in hot water. If you choose cooked noodles, then skip this step.

1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in the pan.

2. Sauté onion first till aromatic. Add in carrots, stir fry till softened.

3. Then add in cabbage, bean sprouts and leek. Stir fry for 1 min. Add in 1 tsp shaoxing wine to remove the grass smell of bean sprouts.

4. Set vegetables apart.

5. Wipe the pan clean and dry. Heat 1 tablespoon oil.

6. Place cooked noodles inside. Don’t stir them immediately. Let them get a bit golden brown.

Chicken Soup Noodle

Leave a comment

When my husband feels sick, I cook him chicken soup. Actually, every time I make chicken soup, it’s possibly to leave some over. So I keep the left soup in a jar and stored in fridge. Stored chicken soup can be used to cook. And the easiest one is to cook noodles.


This is the fresh soup not the stored one.

It’s easy to make chicken soup. 

Put chicken in a deep pot. Add in enough water and several ginger slices. Turn to high heat at first. When the soup boiled, turn to low height. If you want really good chicken soup, you’d better cook it for at least one hour. The soup will taste really great. I cooked it for about one hour and a half. And add some salt to it, or it will be plain. I also added several shiitake, because I really like it.

You can cook noodle when chicken soup is almost done. Just cook noodle with water. When noodle is cooked. Take it out and drain. After drained, put noodle in a bowl. 

Scoop some chicken soup and add to noodle in the bowl. If you like, you can add some green vegetables and chopped spring onion. 


My husband are it all, even he’s sick. It’s very nutritious.
