1. Chop onion, ginger and garlic and set aside.
2. Cut the potatoes into short strips and try to cut them evenly, otherwise the small pieces of potatoes will melt away during the cooking process.
3. Wash the beans and cut them into thick strips.
The beveled surface has a larger area and can absorb the flavor better.
You can also use scissors to cut the beans in the middle.
4. Slice the meat. I like to cut the fat and lean meat separately. This makes it easier for me to give the fat meat that I don’t want to eat to my husband.
In fact, it’s best to make it with pork belly, which is fatter and leaner, so it’s more flavorful.
5. Once the preparations are done, it’s time to serve.
Add a small amount of cooking oil to the pot (because there will still be oil in the meat), stir-fry the meat until it changes color, and until there is no sound of water.
6. Add dried chili peppers, onion, ginger, garlic, Sichuan peppercorns, and aniseed in sequence, and stir-fry until fragrant.
7. Add potatoes and beans, stir-fry briefly, then add cooking wine, soy sauce, and a small amount of vinegar, and continue stir-frying.
The amount of soy sauce used in cooking is more than usual, about 1.5-2 times the usual amount.
Because the coloring of the noodles is all here.
8. After you see that the meat and vegetables are evenly colored, you can add stock or water to the pot.
The amount of water added is very important, not too much or too little, just enough to cover the vegetables.
It's the level shown in the picture.
9. After the soup is boiled over high heat, cook the potatoes over medium heat until you feel a little hard inside when you bite into them.
Now add salt to taste. How much should you add?
My personal experience is that after adding salt and stirring evenly, taste the soup and feel that it is salty.
10. Then reduce the heat to the minimum and spread the noodles evenly on top.
Cover the pot, turn the heat to medium and start simmering the noodles.
The time I simmer the noodles is usually 7-8 minutes.
11. When the time is up, take it out of the pot~~~~Look, what happens to the stewed noodles?
By the way, the color is different.
Sprinkle the chicken essence, mix the noodles and vegetables evenly, and serve on a plate.
