Minced Pork Noodles with Hoisin Sauce Mixture:

I cooked this pork noodles dish in the Hoisin sauce mixture. The stir fry sauce has the perfect balance of sweetness and saltiness. It's so simple, yet so delicious. To make the sauce, I only added 4 ingredients: broth, Hoisin sauce, Mirin, and low sodium soy sauce.

So, what is Hoisin Sauce? Hoisin Sauce is made using soybean. It's a thick, sweet, and fragrant sauce commonly used in Chinese cooking. It's also a great sauce to glaze meat, as a dipping sauce for stir fry or to add sweetness to the soup, such as Pho.

Minced Pork Noodles Ingredients

• Ground Pork
• Chicken broth
• Low-sodium soy sauce
• Mirin (or you can use dry sherry)
• Hoisin Sauce
• Chili garlic sauce
• Sichuan Peppercorn
• Sesame Oil
• Dry Sherry or Shaoxing wine
• Garlic
• Ginger
• Scallions

Optional Ingredients:

I listed two optional ingredients that actually play important roles in the minced pork noodles dish: Sichuan Peppercorn and Chili Garlic Sauce. If you love spicy food and have access to these products, please do not skip out on these!

Sichuan Peppercorn:

Sichuan Peppercorn is an essential ingredient in Chinese cooking. It has a very unique aroma and flavor, that is slightly lemony and creates a tingly numbness in the mouth. While this is an optional ingredient, I highly recommend adding Sichuan peppercorn to give a little kick and add that special citrus flavor to the dish. You can find this type of peppercorn at any Asian market, or even local stores like Sprouts, or Ralph's (Kroger).

Chili Garlic Sauce:

Chili garlic sauce is another optional ingredient to add to this dish. This chili sauce is a combination of chili and garlic and is absolutely delicious. It's a staple Asian condiment and can be added to many recipes. You can find chili garlic sauce at any grocery market like Krogers, Sprouts, Vons, or Target. It's very inexpensive and lasts a long time in the fridge. I really recommend using this sauce to bring the dish to the next level.

The cooking process of this Ground Pork Noodles is pretty easy. It basically contains two important steps:

1. Cook the pork in the Hoisin sauce mixture prior to adding the pork into the noodle.
2. After, use extra sauce to flavor the noodle during frying.

How to Make this Ground Pork Noodles Recipe:

• First, cook the noodle according to product packaging. Set it aside.
• Second, prepare the stir fry sauce by mixing chicken broth, low sodium soy sauce, mirin, and hoisin sauce.
• Third, cook the pork on a hot skillet or wok undisturbed for 3 minutes or until it is browned. Then you can break up the meat into small bits. Keep stirring until there is no longer pink. This process should last about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and transfer to a plate.
• Next, it's time to cook the garlic, ginger, scallions and the optional Sichuan peppercorn to give extra taste and aroma to the dish. You only cook these condiments for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Do not burn!
• Now, put the browned pork in Hoisin Sauce back into the skillet and add the noodles.
• Lastly, we need to season the noodles with extra Hoisin Sauce, Soy Sauce, Sesame Oil, Dry Sherry, and the optional Chili Garlic Sauce.

Replacement Ingredients:

You can use Shaoxing wine in replacement for dry sherry. For mirin, the Japanese sweet rice wine, you need a combination of acidic and sweet flavors, a good example is using dry sherry with a small amount of white sugar.
