Noodles for the Lunar New Year
Happy Lunar New Year! [Insert long copy here about my Chinese grandmother.] I decided to do what I do best: destroy things by taking inspiration from Chinese Longevity Noodles.
For 4 servings:
4 oz. piece pickled mustard greens (suan cai)
1 tbsp. vegetable oil
1 shallot, minced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 lb ground beef (or chopped extra firm tofu)
1 c. chopped shiitake mushrooms
3 tbsp. soy sauce
2 tbsp. black bean paste
2 tbsp. granulated sugar
2 c. beef broth (or vegetable broth)
12 oz. plain wheat noodles (check out this Asian noodle buying guide)
Soak suan cai in a bowl of water -- make sure it is completely submerged -- for about 30 minutes. You only need about half of what's in the packaging (a standard package for this has about 8-ounces). Drain and squeeze/press dry with a clean kitchen towel. Chop.
In a heavy bottom sauté pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add shallot, garlic. Sauté for 1 minute. Add ground beef (or tofu) and chopped mushrooms. Sauté, breaking apart ground beef, for about 7-10 minutes until the meat is completely cooked. Add chopped suan cia, soy sauce, black bean paste, sugar, and broth. Bring it to a simmer and reduce heat to medium low. Let it cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid is evaporated, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare noodles to package directions. Drain noodles and transfer to the sauté pan. Gently mix everything together before serving.
I like garnishing mine with some fried shallots and sliced green onions.

Super Chili Artificial Crawfish Flavored Stir Fried Noodles
Overall: ⭐⭐ (2/5 stars)
Spiciness: 🌶️ (1/3 peppers)
All in all, pretty forgettable. It didn't have instructions in any language, the noodles were very thin and cooked way too quickly, and the sauce was a pretty bland soy/fish sauce mix. The toppings satchel was just a lot of sesame seeds and dried cilantro...not bad but quite disappointing.
Tbh even as a base to add toppings on, there are many other instant noodles with better sauces to use.
Gets two stars because it wasn't actively bad, but that's all.

I consider anything I cook to be a great accomplishment.
Oh wait I made those noodles from scratch - this is an accomplishment! It took me 3 hours to make and 10 - 15 minutes to eat, much like a roller coaster experience in theme parks.
