Shanghai Noodles Recipe

Shanghai Noodles

From quaypocooks 13 years ago

When there are days that I am very lazy to cook lunch at home or even to go out to “ta pau” (take away), I will ask Mum to make Shanghai Noodles.

Soak the Shitake Mushrooms till soft. Squeeze and drain excess water from the shitake and slice approximately 1/2 cm. Mix oyster sauce, white pepper, ½ cube chicken stock, corn flour in a bowl and marinate the sliced pork for 15 mins. Heat oil in wok and fry garlic till fragrant. Add mushrooms, marinated pork and vegetables and fry till pork is cooked through. Set aside. In a separate pot bring water to a boil and cook noodles for 9 mins. Take them out quickly and soak briefly in cold bath. Drain and set aside. Add water into the wok, with black sauce, and the other 1/2 cube of chicken stock and bring it to boil. Add in noodles, cooked pork and vegetables and toss until well mixed. Transfer to serving plate.

I made this last night for dinner. I had to do some hunting to find all the ingrediants, but I found them all. Very good and earthy (from the mushrooms). I will admit, your picture was much more pretty then the end result I put on the table last night. =)

As to the "Black Sauce"; she is referring to "Chinese Black Soy Sauce". It contains molasses, is very dark and is thicker than regular soy sauce and has a more intense flavor. Also, her reference to corn flour is what we call corn starch in the U.S.A.

I was going to ask the same question. I think maybe it's soy or teriyaki sauce.
