How to Make Savory Minced Pork with Glass Noodles

Savory minced pork with glass noodles is a comforting, versatile dish loved for its rich flavors and satisfying textures. Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe to guide you.

Ingredients:

200g ground pork, 1 small bundle glass noodles (dried), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp oyster sauce, 1/2 tsp sugar, 1 green onion (chopped), 1 tbsp cooking oil, and a pinch of white pepper.

Steps:

1. Prepare the noodles: Soak dried glass noodles in warm water for 10-15 minutes until soft, then drain and cut into shorter lengths for easier eating.

2. Cook the pork: Heat oil in a wok or pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant. Add ground pork, breaking it up with a spatula, and cook until browned.

3. Season and combine: Stir in soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Mix well, then add the softened glass noodles. Toss gently to coat the noodles with the pork mixture and sauce.

4. Finish and serve: Cook for 2-3 minutes until the noodles are heated through. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and a dash of white pepper. Serve hot as a main dish or a hearty side.

Tips: For extra flavor, add a splash of sesame oil or a few dried mushrooms (soaked and chopped) with the pork. Adjust seasoning to taste, and ensure the noodles are not overcooked to maintain a pleasant chewiness. This dish pairs perfectly with steamed rice or a light vegetable side. Enjoy!
