1.5 tsp of fennel seeds (Amazon Link -
1.5 tsp of Sichuan peppercorn powder (Amazon Link -

1 tbsp of chicken bouillon or 2 tsp of MSG (Amazon Link -
To Marinade the pork
200g (7 oz) of pork, julienned
1/4 tsp of salt
2 tsp of soy sauce (Amazon Link -
2 tsp of Chinese cooking wine (Amazon Link -
1 tsp of cornstarch (Amazon Link -
White pepper to taste (Amazon Link -
To Stir Fry The Noodles
300 grams (10.6oz) of fresh noodles, thick
1.5 tbsp of soy sauce (Amazon Link -
1.5 tbsp of dark soy sauce (Amazon Link -
1 tbsp of pork lard to coat the noodles
3-4 baby bok choy, sliced
4 mushrooms, sliced
1/4 of a medium size onion, sliced into strips
3-4 cloves of garlic, sliced thinly
2 tbsp of pork lard to stir fry
1.5 tsp of Xian La Fen seasoning
1 tbsp of toasted sesame seeds (Amazon Link -
Directions
Make the Xian La Fen (鲜辣粉)
Toast the dried red chili, coriander, fennel, Sichuan peppercorns, dried tangerine peel, and dried ginger in a wok over medium-low heat for a few minutes.
Put the spices into a blender and blend into a fine powder. If you have any spice already in powder form, you can keep it on the side and mix it into the spice mixture at the end.
Optionally, mix the spice powder with 1 tbsp of chicken bouillon powder or 2 tsp of MSG.
Store the Xian La Fen in a sealed container. It will stay good for 4-5 months at room temp. If you don't want to spend the time to make Xian La Fen, you can use a mixture of 3/4 tsp of five-spice, 1/2 tsp of chili powder, and 1/4 tsp of MSG in this recipe as a replacement.
Marinade the Pork
Cut the pork into 1/4-inch thick strips, then marinate with salt, soy sauce, Chinese cooking wine, white pepper, and cornstarch. Mix well and set it aside. Although you could use other kinds of protein, such as beef and chicken, pork is the classic choice because this dish is also known as 上海肉丝炒面 (Shanghai julienned pork chow mein).
Prepare All the Vegetables
Slice the mushrooms into 1/4 of an inch thick slabs;
Cut the onion into strips;
Slice the garlic thinly; Cut the bok choy diagonally. Set everything aside.
Cook the Noodles
Add the noodles to the boiling water and cook until al dente. The cooking time varies depending on the thickness and the types of noodles (3-6 minutes). Drain the noodles and shake the excess water.
Season the noodles with soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and pork lard. The rest of the heat will melt the fat and coat the noodles, so they don't stick to each other. You can use vegetable oil or butter if you don't like pork fat.
Stir Fry the Noodles
Turn the heat to high and add 2 tbsp of pork lard. Swirl it around to melt it. Toss in the marinaded pork and Stir for a couple of minutes or until you don't see any pink color.
Remove the pork from the wok. Make sure you tilt the wok so you can leave the oil behind.
Add garlic, onion, mushroom slices, and noodles. Stir over high heat for a few minutes.
Add pork and bok choy. Keep mixing for 30 seconds or until the vegetables are welted.
Before serving, add 1 tbsp of toasted sesame seeds and 1.5 tsp of the Xian La Fen seasoning, which is the soul of Shanghai Chow mein. Toss well and enjoy!

This garlic shrimp lo mein easy recipe and quick, can be put together in 15 minutes. we often make it with egg noodles, but you can also use pasta or ramen noodles. The key to perfecting this recipe is to mince the garlic as fine as possible so the garlic bits can cling to the noodle strings.
INGREDIENTS (Servings: 2 people)
To Marinade the Shrimp
227 g (8 oz) of shrimp
1/3 tsp of salt
1 tsp of cornstarch
White pepper to taste (Amazon Link -
2 tsp of Chinese cooking wine (Amazon Link -
To Complete the Noodles
300 grams (10.6oz) of fresh egg noodles
2-3 tbsp of pork lard to stir fry
15 cloves of garlic finely minced
1 tbsp of soy sauce (Amazon Link -
1 tbsp of dark soy sauce (Amazon Link -
1 tbsp of oyster sauce (Amazon Link -
1 oz of garlic chives, cut into 2 inches long, optional
A red chili, julienned, optional
INSTRUCTIONS:
Marinade the shrimp with salt, cornstarch, white pepper to taste, and some Chinese cooking wine. Set it aside.
Boil the noodles until al dente, then drain and rinse the noodles under running water to stop the cooking process. In some of my other noodle recipes, I have suggested not to rinse the noodles; that is for Chow mein because you don’t want the excess water to ruin the wok hay flavor. This recipe is lo mein, so it is ok to rinse.
Heat the wok until smoking hot. Add 1.5 tbsp of pork lard and the shrimp. Stir over high heat for a couple of minutes or until the shrimp changes color. Remove the shrimp from the wok.
Add another tbsp of pork fat to the wok, along with half of the minced garlic. Stir over low heat until the garlic is slightly golden, then add the remaining garlic. This is called 金银蒜 in Chinese, which means golden and silver garlic. The deep-fried and raw garlic provides different tastes and aromas. Using a mix of them upgrades the flavor of this dish.
Add the soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, and noodles. Optionally, toss in some garlic chives and julienned red chili. Mix until well combined.

???? PRINTABLE RECIPE -
Despite being named after Singapore, this recipe was actually born in HK in the 1960s, the time when HK was a British colony. As HK became the transportation hub between Europe and Southeast Asia, lots of cuisines from all over the world started creating sparks in this little island. With influence from the Indian spices, this stir-fried curry rice noodle dish found its way and spread globally. Singapore noodle is a very interesting dish that shows how multicultural Cantonese cooking could be. The curry powder is pleasantly invasive because it works so well on these spindly rice noodles.
???? RECIPE
Ingredients
For the noodles and protein
200 grams of dried rice stick noodle (Amazon Link -
8 cups of boiling water to soak the noodles
70 grams of char siu thinly sliced
150 grams (5.3 oz) of shrimp
A pinch of salt
Some black pepper to taste (Amazon Link -
2 eggs
Vegetables and aromatics
70 grams (2.5 oz) of multi-color bell pepper, cut into strips
42 grams (1.5 oz) of carrot, julienned
42 grams (1.5 oz) of onion, sliced thinly
42 grams (1.5 oz) of bean sprout
28 grams (1 oz) of garlic chive, cut into 1.5 inches long
2 cloves of garlic sliced thinly
For the seasonings
1 tbsp of soy sauce (Amazon Link -
1 tbsp of fish sauce (Amazon Link -
2 tsp of oyster sauce (Amazon Link -
1 tsp of sugar
1-2 tsp of curry powder depending on your taste (Amazon Link -
1 tsp of turmeric powder (Amazon Link -
Instructions
Bring 8 cups of water to a boil then turn off the heat. Soak the rice noodles for 2-8 minutes depending on the thickness. Mine was medium thick and it took about 5 minutes. Do not overcook the noodles, otherwise, they will turn mushy when you stir fry them. You can give it a bite to test it. The noodles should be a little bit chewy at the center.
Remove the noodles from the water and spread them on a cooling rack. Let the rest of the heat helps to evaporate the excess moisture. This is the key to avoid clumpy and sticky noodles. Do not rinse the noodles with cold water as it will bring in too much moisture and make the noodles stick to the wok badly.
SLice the Char sui thinly; Seasoned the shrimp with a pinch of salt and some black pepper to taste; Crack 2 eggs and beat them well until you don’t see any obvious egg white; Julienne the bell pepper, carrot, onion and cut the garlic chives into 1.5 inches long.
Before we cooking, thoroughly mix all the sauce ingredients in a bowl.
Turn the heat to high and heat your wok until smoking hot. Add a few tbsp of oil and swirl it around to create a nonstick layer. Pour in the egg and wait for it to set. Then break the egg into big pieces. Push the egg to the side so you have room to sear the shrimp. The wok is super hot, it only takes 20 seconds for the shrimp to turn pink. Push the shrimp to the side and toss the char siu for 10-15 seconds over high heat to reactivate the flavor. Take all the proteins out and set them aside.
Add 1 more tbsp of oil to the same wok, along with the garlic, and carrot. Give them a quick stir then add the noodles. Fluff the noodles over high heat for a few minutes.
Add the sauce, along with all the vegetables except for the garlic chives. Introduce the protein back into the wok. Quickly stir to make sure the flavor is well combined. Once you don’t see any white rice noodles, add the garlic chives and give it a final toss.
Before serving, always give it a taste to adjust the flavor. As I mentioned before, different brands of curry powder, curry paste, even soy sauce may vary in sodium level.
