- 8 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- ⅛ tsp white pepper
- 2 tsp sesame oil
Instructions
- In a medium sized bowl, mix sake, mirin, soy sauce, garlic and chili pepper flakes. Add chicken and marinate for one hour.
- Cook saimin noodles in a large pot of salted water. Throw in the chopped choi sum for the last 2 minutes of cooking. Drain and set aside.
- In a large stock pot, heat chicken broth, soy sauce, and white pepper.
- In a hot wok or frying pan, heat sesame oil. Heat reserved marinade for 15 minutes until boiling before adding chicken. Reduce sauce until chicken is dark and glossy. Remove from heat.
- Place noodles in a bowl, pour heated stock over noodles and top with pieces of chicken.
Notes
Black pepper may be substituted for white pepper.
Marinade used to soak raw meats should not be re-used in recipes UNLESS it has been reheated to a boiling point. After marinade reaches a boiling point, it is relatively safe to add the marinade to other foods.
