Let’s cook the noodles first. Add cold water to the iron pot, bring to a boil over high heat, then turn to medium heat and add the thin noodles. Crack the eggs in too and cook together with the noodles. After cooking for about five minutes, our noodles are ready. Take them out and set them aside. Drain the water and set aside. The same goes for boiled eggs. When the noodles are almost cooked, we add bok choy or other green vegetables, blanch them for ten seconds, and then take them out. Then we use a hot water kettle to boil a pot of water. While waiting for the water to boil, we can prepare the seasoning.
Take a big bowl, or two if it is for two people, and add condiments to the bowl. First pat the garlic and put it in, then pat it into several small pieces. Everyone must pay attention to the fact that it has to be beaten. If it is cut, it will not be as delicious. Then add two tablespoons of light soy sauce, one tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, sprinkle with appropriate amount of pepper, and add a little sesame oil. Our base ingredients are ready. The water in the pot should be boiling by this time. Just add hot water and rinse the seasonings. The last step is to add the noodles, eggs and vegetables. The Yangchun noodles cooked in this way taste relatively refreshing and clean, without any dirty feeling. When you are too late to go to work in the morning, you can also use this method to make yourself a bowl of fragrant noodles.
