Lo Mein
A great Lo Mein just comes down to a great SAUCE!
PRINT RECIPE
Lo Mein noodles are yellow noodles that are about 3mm/ 1/8 wide and they are yellow because they are made with egg (as opposed to white noodles). Best if you can find fresh noodles in the fridge section of the grocery store (usually just soak in boiling water for a minute), but can be made with dried egg noodles, ramen OR even pasta (yep really, I've made Lo Mein plenty of times with SPAGHETTI, no one can tell the difference once it's cooked!)

Servings 4-6 servings
Ingredients:
Slow-Cooked Pork Belly:
2.2 lb (1Kg) rindless pork belly slices chopped in half (each piece being approx. the length of your index finger)
4 1/4 cups (1 Litre) hot chicken/veg stock
1 thumb sized piece of ginger peeled and finely chopped (or 1 tbsp of minced ginger)
3 cloves garlic peeled and chopped in half
1 tbsp. rice wine
1 tbsp. caster sugar
Glaze:
2 tbsp vegetable oil
pinch of salt and pepper
1 thumb-sized piece of ginger peeled and minced
1 red chilli finely chopped
2 tbsp Honey
2 tbsp brown sugar
3 tbsp dark soy sauce
1 tsp lemon grass paste
To Serve:
Boiled rice
Green Vegetables
Instructions:
1. Add all the slow-cooked pork belly ingredients to a pan (not the glaze ingredients) I use a cast iron casserole pan.
2. Bring to the boil, then place a lid on, turn down the heat and simmer for 2 hours.
3. Turn off the heat and drain the pork. You can reserve the liquid if you like (Perfect for a Thai or Chinese noodle soup).
4. Chop the pork into bite sized chunks. Add 1 tbsp. of the oil to a frying pan, and then mix the remaining glaze ingredients in a small bowl.
5. Heat the oil and add in the pork, salt and pepper, frying on a high heat until the pork starts to turn golden.
6. Now pour the glaze over the pork and continue to cook until the pork looks dark and sticky.
7. Remove from the heat and serve.
Notes
Can I make it ahead?
Yes, you can make it up to the end of step 2 (where the pork is slow cooked and then drained). Then quickly cool, cover and refrigerate (for up to two days) or freeze. Defrost in the refrigerator overnight before slicing and frying the meat.
You can also make the sauce ahead, then cover and refrigerate it up to a day ahead.
Can I make it Gluten free?
Yes! Replace the soy sauce with tamari. I've done this several times and it works great.Replace the rice wine with sherry (usually gluten free, but best to check).Also make sure you use gluten free stock.
Can I use my slow cooker?
Yes, you can do the first stage in the slow cooker. Cook on high for 4-5 hours or low for 6-7 hours. Keep an eye on the level of liquid and top up with a little more if needed.

Pork stir fry with green pepper, or what we call “青椒肉丝” is a simple recipe, but it involves a Chinese restaurant’s secret. I am sure many of you have wondered why the meat in Chinese restaurants is so tender and succulent. I will reveal the secret and you will be able to make perfect stir fry from now on.
INGREDIENTS:
To Marinade the Pork
223 grams (1/2 lb) of pork
1/4 tsp of salt
1/4 tsp of white pepper (Amazon Link -
1 tsp of dark soy sauce (Amazon Link -
1 tbsp of Chinese cooking wine (Amazon Link -
1 egg white
1 tbsp of cornstarch (Amazon Link -
1 tbsp of cooking oil
To Make the Sauce (碗芡)
1 tbsp of light soy sauce (Amazon Link -
1/2 tbsp of oyster sauce (Amazon Link -
1/2 tsp of sugar
1/2 tsp of five spice powder (Amazon Link -
1 tsp of cornstarch (Amazon Link -
60g (1/4 cup) of water
Others:
2 tbsp of pork lard or vegetable oil to stir fry
170 g (6 oz) Green pepper
3 cloves of garlic, diced
1.5 tsp of sweet flour sauce (Tian Mian sauce) (Amazon Link -
INSTRUCTIONS
Thinly julienne the pork and marinade it with salt, white pepper, dark soy sauce, Chinese cooking wine, and egg white. Mix well then continue to massage the meat for 5 minutes.
Add a big drizzle of oil and mix to prevent the meat from tangling, making it easier to stir fry later. Set it aside.
Thinly slice the garlic and julienne the green chili pepper. If you don’t eat spicy food, use bell pepper.
In a bowl, thoroughly combine the light soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, five-spice powder, cornstarch, and water. Set it aside
Turn the heat to high and heat the wok until smoking hot. Add the pork lard and stir the pork over high heat for a couple of minutes or until the meat changes color.
Add the tiam mian jiang (甜面酱) and mix well.
Switch the heat to medium, and add the garlic and green pepper. Keep mixing until the pepper is slightly welted. Pour in the sauce and stir well. Serve with white rice.
