This noodle dish is nostalgic for me because it is homey, familiar and, well, Taiwanese! Yellow (egg based) fresh noodles, pork, dried shrimp, shiitake mushrooms, onion, garlic, cabbage and/or bean sprouts, soy sauce and vinegar are the typical ingredients. Both my mom and grandmother used to make their own versions and here's mine.
1
Searing the Beef
Sear beef fillets on high heat for 2 minutes per side to form a golden crust. Let it cool before proceeding to keep the beef tender.
2
Mushroom Duxelles
Cook the mushrooms until all moisture evaporates to prevent soggy pastry. Aim for a thick, paste-like consistency.
3
Puff Pastry Handling
Keep the puff pastry cold to avoid softness. Chill if it becomes too soft, and score the top lightly without cutting through.
Notes
1
Place the pork strips in a bowl and toss with the marinade ingredients. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 20 minutes up to overnight.
2
Combine the sauce ingredients together in a measuring cup or bowl; set aside.
3
Place the dried shiitake mushrooms in a bowl and cover with hot water; let sit for 20-30 minutes or until softened. Remove the mushrooms to a chopping board and remove the stems; cut the mushroom caps into thin slices and set aside.
Prep the vegetables & set aside.
4
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the fresh noodles about 1-2 minutes, or until just al dente. Drain in a colander and set aside.
5
Add 3 tbsp vegetable oil to a hot wok or sauté pan. Add the marinated pork and sauté for about a minute until partially cooked through.
6
Add the onion, garlic, and the white parts of the scallions; toss to combine. Add the shiitakes and cabbage; cook until the onion and cabbage are translucent and the pork is cooked through.
7
Add the sauce, green parts of the scallion, bean sprouts and noodles and toss briefly until the all the ingredients are well blended.
8
Plate the noodles on a serving dish and serve immediately.
