Chinese New Year means it's time for noodles. (More on that tomorrow). This dish, however, can be offered on any occasion. Serve up stir-fried rice noodles at your next potluck or party. The key is sautéing pieces of pork (or chicken) with onion, garlic, and a little bit of hoisin sauce before adding the softened noodles. Make a big batch and guests can eat multiple servings. Here is our recipe:
What you will need:
1 large frying pan
1 wooden spoon
2 tablespoons cooking oil
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 small yellow onion, chopped
1 lb pork or chicken, chopped into bite size pieces
2 carrots, julienned
1-2 cups collard greens, cut into bite size pieces (or pieces of bok choy or savoy cabbage)
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
½ cup water
1 package rice noodles (rice vermicelli), softened by soaking in warm water for 5-10 minutes
Toppings: 2 hard boiled eggs, sliced
Sliced green onion
Cooking and directions:
Heat up frying pan on medium-high heat. Add cooking oil. Next, sauté onion and garlic until onion turns translucent. Be careful not to burn garlic. Add pork (or chicken) and let it brown. Add hoisin, water, and soy sauce. Stir well. Add veggies and leave everything alone for 2-3 minutes to give the veggies time to cook. (Don't overcook them though.) Finally, stir in softened rice noodles. The noodles will absorb the liquid and flavors in the pot. Remove pan from heat and plate noodle dish. Serve garnished with sliced egg and sliced green onion if desired. Sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro on top if you like.
