Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Noodles

Start by boiling the rice noodles in a saucepan filled with water. Add a pinch of salt to the water to enhance the noodles’ flavor. Once the water starts boiling, add the dried flat noodles and let them cook for about 15 minutes. Ensure the noodles are cooked to al dente, meaning they should be firm yet cooked through, as they will continue cooking in the broth later.

Once the noodles are ready, strain them, reserving the water in which the noodles were cooked. Rinse the noodles under cold water to stop the cooking process and prevent them from becoming too soft. Drizzle a little sunflower oil over the noodles and toss them gently to ensure they don’t stick together. Set them aside on a flat plate.

Step 2: Prepare the Broth

Use the water that you saved from cooking the noodles as the base for your broth. Pour this water into a large saucepan. To the saucepan, add the soy sauce, red chili sauce, honey, and the sliced lemongrass. Stir to combine, ensuring the flavors mix together.

Next, add the vegetables — broccoli florets, carrot roundels, and chopped bok choy — into the broth. Allow the mixture to simmer over medium heat for about 25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and have absorbed the flavors of the broth. Keep an eye on the broth, and if needed, adjust the seasoning with salt and black pepper powder.

Step 3: Combine the Noodles with the Broth

Once the vegetables are cooked, it’s time to add the prepared noodles. Gently stir in the noodles and simmer the entire dish for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the noodles to soak up the flavors of the broth.

Step 4: Garnish and Serve

Before serving, add a generous amount of chopped spring onions to the dish for a burst of freshness and color. You can also adjust the seasoning one final time, adding more salt or pepper if desired. Your Shanghai Yang Chun Noodle dish is now ready to be enjoyed!

Serving Suggestion

Serve the Shanghai Yang Chun Noodle Recipe hot for a nourishing and satisfying lunch meal. Pair it with a side of crispy dumplings or spring rolls for a complete meal experience.
