1. Prepare an appropriate amount of dry noodles. You can use dried noodles or processed wet noodles. Today I used processed wet noodles. We put the noodles into the basin, then pour in an appropriate amount of cooking oil and stir the noodles evenly. This way the noodles won't become sticky or clump together when steamed. The steamed noodles are stronger and more delicious.

2. Put some more water into the pot, and then boil the pot in advance. After the noodles are stirred evenly, spread the cage cloth or cage mat, and then put the noodles evenly on the cage. Don't press it too tightly, otherwise it won't heat evenly during steaming. Cover and steam for more than 20 minutes.

3. While the noodles are steaming, let’s prepare the side dishes now. Prepare a piece of pork with a little fat. Separate the fat and lean meat, cut them into shreds, and put them aside after cutting. Place in a bowl and set aside.

4. Prepare a handful of celery and cut the celery into small sections. Do not cut the celery sections too thickly, otherwise it will not be easy to taste when frying. Prepare some onions, ginger, and garlic. Cut the onions into chopped green onions, cut the ginger into slices, and cut the garlic cloves into slices. After cutting, put it into a bowl and set aside. Cut some dried chili segments into the bowl. Then add star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, and Sichuan peppercorns.

5. Heat the oil in a pan. When the oil is hot, add the fat and stir-fry until the oil comes out. Then add the prepared onions, ginger, garlic and aniseed and stir-fry until the aroma is released. After that, add the lean pork shreds and stir-fry until the lean meat turns white, then add the prepared soybean sprouts. Then add the chopped celery segments, then add the chopped garlic sprouts, and stir-fry for a while.

6. Stir-fry evenly and start seasoning. Add salt, chicken essence, oil, pepper, light soy sauce, then add a little dark soy sauce for color, then continue to stir-fry, stir-fry evenly and then pour in boiling water. The amount of boiling water should be added appropriately according to the amount of noodles. Turn up the heat and bring to a boil.

7. After the noodles are steamed, use chopsticks to separate them so that they do not stick together. Put the steamed noodles into the wok and stir them with chopsticks so that the noodles are evenly coated with juice.

8. After the noodles are evenly prepared, cover the lid and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes. If there are more noodles, you can simmer them for a longer time. After the noodles are simmered, the delicious Henan steamed noodles are ready.
