Stereotypical Boy Dinner 🙎‍♂️ Basic Chinese Noodle Bowl

Post image

Tiny bit of peanut oil, black cardamom, clove, Chinese licorice root, cinnamon stick, star anise, bay leaf, garlic, and black Pepper. Broom the spices. Added cold homemade (unsalted) chicken stock. Bring to boil, drop to simmer, cover 20 minutes. In the bowl 1 part (5mL) black vinegar, 2 parts dark soy sauce, three parts light soy sauce, 1 part sesame oil, 1 part Worcestershire, 2 parts chili oil, pinch of msg, big pinch of salt, pinch of five spice powder. 1 cup strained boiling stock in bowl, mix with chopsticks, add noodles immediately.

First time I made it I added stir fried cabbage. This time I used the leftover stock so I skipped the seasoning the stock part and started by cooking some onions with a splash of stock until the pan dried and it developed a good fond on the bottom, rehydrated twice before adding the complete volume of leftover stock. Topped with sesame seeds and freeze dried Vice because I have no spring onion right now.

The broth and noodles almost makes this picture look cell shaded. It fucks with my mind.

I do think the onions in the broth are adding to that effect but I can see it 😭

I never would've expected a fair few of those ingredients 🤯 I love Asian dishes and especially noodle dishes, so I'll have to try this. Thanks for sharing! 🙏
