Home-Style Pork Stew Noodles
September 15th, 2009
The big boss said that I should put some of my recipes on the blog so that the blog won’t be clogged by materials for Martians. So okay, the picture above is what I cooked, and please forgive its looking not being Michelin grade. By the way, since the article is tagged as a la carte, it’s quite flexible about the seasoning, and the quantity listed here are FYI 😀 I’m an adlib-type chef.
Materials
- Pork 5 lb (need to choose more flaky parts like shoulders)
- 2 Green Onions, one big piece of ginger, garlic (as much as you like), chili peppers (optional)
- Tomato 1/2 lb
- Asian noodles and veggies of your own choice
Seasonings
- Vegetable oil 1 tbs
- Soy sauce 1 cup, Rice wine 1/2 cup, Coke 12 fl oz
- Chinese five spice 1/2 tsp, Chinese star anise several, White pepper 1/4 tsp
- Light soy sauce 2 tbs, Oyster sauce 1tbs, Cane sugar 1 tbs
Steps
- Cut pork into five big cubes, each about 1 lb and quick boil it. Dice tomatos.
- Put A in pressure cooker, saute ginger, garlic, chili, put in pork and tomatos, and add B, C, D in order. Put in one green onion, add coke, add water so that all materials are covered under water, and seal the pressure cooker.
- After pressure cooker whistling for seven minutes, turn off the stove and release the pressure. Take the pork out and slice it.
- The base remained in pressure cooker is good! Take the base out (you decide the volume), add equal volume of water, and use it to boil Asian noodles.
- When the noodles are cooked, add in your favorite veggies. Dice the remaining green onion before serving (not shown in picture).
Notes
- Quick boiling of meat means put raw defrozen meat into boiled water until the surface of the meat is cooked (but still raw inside).
- I use Wu-Mu dry noodles, and they can be cooked directly within base. If you use frozen Asian noodles, never do that 🙂 Wu-Mu noodles are sold in supermarkets and Amazon.
- It’s okay to add cooked eggs along with pork when we use pressure cooker to stew it.
- You can use crystal sugar instead of cane sugar. I don’t have quality crystal sugar handy so I use cane sugar.
- You can use Sake (Japanese Rice Wine) if you don’t know where to buy cooking rice wine.

This looks like a good recipe, I’ll have to try it out.
You didn’t by any chance grow up in Huntington Beach did you?
