👨🍳 Instrucțiuni
- 1
Prepare the sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the chili oil, sesame paste, soy sauce, black vinegar, and ground Sichuan peppercorns. If using, add minced garlic and ginger. Set aside.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 2
Toast and grind Sichuan peppercorns: If using whole Sichuan peppercorns, toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Let cool slightly, then grind them into a fine powder using a spice grinder or mortar and pestle.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 3
Cook the minced pork: Heat the cooking oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat (around 190°C / 375°F). Add the ground pork and break it up with a spoon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pork is browned and slightly crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain off excess fat.
⏱️ 7 minutes - 4
Add preserved vegetables: Add the finely chopped ya cai to the skillet with the cooked pork. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant and well combined. Remove from heat and set aside.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 5
Cook the noodles: Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the thin wheat noodles and cook according to package directions until al dente (usually 3-5 minutes for fresh, 7-10 minutes for dried). Reserve about 1/2 cup of the noodle cooking water before draining.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 6
Assemble the noodles: Divide the prepared sauce among four serving bowls. Add a ladleful of hot noodle cooking water to each bowl and stir to loosen the sauce into a smooth consistency. Add the drained noodles to the bowls.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 7
Serve: Top each bowl generously with the pork and ya cai mixture. Garnish with chopped scallions. Toss thoroughly before eating to ensure the noodles are well coated with the sauce.
