At many Asian restaurants you can find these big flat rice noodle dishes. They are quite delicious. Here is my version of it.

Ingredients: Flat rice noodles cut into cubes (often you can find them in the refrigerated section of an Asian grocery store.) bacons, scallops, celery ,eggs, salt, pepper, 2 cups chicken broth, chopped garlic, oil, hot sauce (optional)

1. In a hot pan with a little oil, add garlic until fragrant.
2. Add meat
3. When the meat is cooked, add eggs.
4. When eggs are cooked add vegetables.
3. When the vegetables are cooked, add rice noodle and chicken broth.
4. Cover with lid, cook until noodles soften (Usually cooked in about 10 min, in medium heat). Stir often.
5. Add salt and pepper as needed. Hot sauce may be added at this time as well. Savor the broad noodle goodness!

It’s almost Chinese new year! So I decided to share a simple recipe that’s great any time of the year, but especially for this very special occasion. This interactive soup can be prepared in thousands (millions) of different ways, and it is a great way to combine all those random ingredients in your fridge. Here’s is mine from the other night.

Ingredients for hotpot: pork or chicken broth (pork is better), Chinese cabbage, soybean sprouts, one egg, tofu, thinly sliced meat (raw), mushrooms, baby corn, green bean noodles (you can use any kind of noodle really), daikon (sort of like a turnip), scallops, chinese dumplings …etc. If you think it would be good in a soup, it probably would be. You will need a hot plate or an electric wok, or something that allows you to cook at the table.

Dipping sauce: Chinese BBQ sauce (沙茶醬), soysauce, scallions, sesame oil, egg yolk (raw and optional for the squeamish)

1. Bring a pot of chicken broth to a boil. Add daikon and mushrooms; cook until the diakon softens.
2. Mix above ingredients into a dipping sauce. It is easier if everyone has a little dipping dish.
3. Move the soup to the table. Strategically position all the other raw ingredients within reach. Treat like you would any common fondue – dip the other ingredients into the boiling pot and remove when cooked. Dip the cooked ingredients into the sauce and be prepared to loosen your belt.

For added entertainment, see who can pick up the boiled tofu first with chop sticks. Keep in mind, this should be a communal dish that everyone sits around and eats.

You can have this with rice if you want, but many people think it just gets in the way of the good stuff.
