Cooking tips

  • Since zha cai is very salty, soak it in water for a sufficient time before cooking to balance the seasoning.
  • Coating pork with cornstarch before frying helps retain its juices, preventing toughness and ensuring a tender texture.
  • To maintain a clean and clear broth, never cook the broth with the topping ingredients—always prepare it separately.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to try making a luxurious hotel-style Chinese noodle dish at home.
  • People looking for a different soup-based meal instead of regular ramen or udon.
