    Chinese style braised noodles with green beans (豆角焖面) is a one of the most popular staple in Northern part of China. This braised noodles taste fabulous after absorbing the sauce of the green beans and pork belly.

    Braised noodles "焖面" is a cooking method unique to Northern part of China where noodle is the mains staple food. The cooking method is totally different, the noodle is cooked firstly through steaming and then in sauce. Although it looks similar to chow mein after finished But the big flavors are almost absorbed by the noodles. It is a tradition to use pork belly, which is considered as the best part of pork by many people including me to provide the oil for frying the beans and braising the noodles. I have tried pork belly with fresh vegetables like cucumber and celery. They really match so well.

    Cook's Note

    How to choose noodle: I recommend using fresh egg noodles, or fresh yellow alkaline noodle.

    Use non-stick pan for beginners. The noodle might be easy to stick to bottom. So highly recommend using non-stick pan.

    Watch carefully in the last stage to avoid over drying the noodles.

      Thank you so very much for this recipe. I made it just now and it taste great. The only thing is that I made some slight changes because I had some bell peppers to use. So I just added them.
