Shanghai-style chow mein is unique because is seasoned with a special umami spice called Xian La Fen (鲜辣粉), which gives the noodles a savory, spicy, and smoky flavor. In this video, I will show you how to make this special Xian La Fen at home and have this authentic shanghai noodle dish at home. This spice powder is versatile; you can sprinkle it onto roasted pork, chicken, bbq, and fries.
Ingredients
To Make The Xian La Fen (Umami Spicy Seasoning)
1/4 cup of dried red chili, cut into small pieces (Amazon Link -
2 tsp of coriander (Amazon Link -
1.5 tsp of fennel seeds (Amazon Link -
1.5 tsp of Sichuan peppercorn powder (Amazon Link -
1 piece of tangerine peel (1 inch*1 inch), break into small pieces (Purchase Link -
2 tsp of dried ginger slices or ginger powder
1 tbsp of chicken bouillon or 2 tsp of MSG (Amazon Link -
To Marinade the pork
200g (7 oz) of pork, julienned
1/4 tsp of salt
2 tsp of soy sauce (Amazon Link -
2 tsp of Chinese cooking wine (Amazon Link -
1 tsp of cornstarch (Amazon Link -
White pepper to taste (Amazon Link -
To Stir Fry The Noodles
300 grams (10.6oz) of fresh noodles, thick
1.5 tbsp of soy sauce (Amazon Link -
1.5 tbsp of dark soy sauce (Amazon Link -
1 tbsp of pork lard to coat the noodles
3-4 baby bok choy, sliced
4 mushrooms, sliced
1/4 of a medium size onion, sliced into strips
3-4 cloves of garlic, sliced thinly
2 tbsp of pork lard to stir fry
1.5 tsp of Xian La Fen seasoning
1 tbsp of toasted sesame seeds (Amazon Link -
Directions
Make the Xian La Fen (鲜辣粉)
Toast the dried red chili, coriander, fennel, Sichuan peppercorns, dried tangerine peel, and dried ginger in a wok over medium-low heat for a few minutes.
Put the spices into a blender and blend into a fine powder. If you have any spice already in powder form, you can keep it on the side and mix it into the spice mixture at the end.
Optionally, mix the spice powder with 1 tbsp of chicken bouillon powder or 2 tsp of MSG.
Store the Xian La Fen in a sealed container. It will stay good for 4-5 months at room temp. If you don't want to spend the time to make Xian La Fen, you can use a mixture of 3/4 tsp of five-spice, 1/2 tsp of chili powder, and 1/4 tsp of MSG in this recipe as a replacement.
Marinade the Pork
Cut the pork into 1/4-inch thick strips, then marinate with salt, soy sauce, Chinese cooking wine, white pepper, and cornstarch. Mix well and set it aside. Although you could use other kinds of protein, such as beef and chicken, pork is the classic choice because this dish is also known as 上海肉丝炒面 (Shanghai julienned pork chow mein).
Prepare All the Vegetables
Slice the mushrooms into 1/4 of an inch thick slabs;
Cut the onion into strips;
Slice the garlic thinly; Cut the bok choy diagonally. Set everything aside.
Cook the Noodles
Add the noodles to the boiling water and cook until al dente. The cooking time varies depending on the thickness and the types of noodles (3-6 minutes). Drain the noodles and shake the excess water.
Season the noodles with soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and pork lard. The rest of the heat will melt the fat and coat the noodles, so they don't stick to each other. You can use vegetable oil or butter if you don't like pork fat.
Stir Fry the Noodles
Turn the heat to high and add 2 tbsp of pork lard. Swirl it around to melt it. Toss in the marinaded pork and Stir for a couple of minutes or until you don't see any pink color.
Remove the pork from the wok. Make sure you tilt the wok so you can leave the oil behind.
Add garlic, onion, mushroom slices, and noodles. Stir over high heat for a few minutes.
Add pork and bok choy. Keep mixing for 30 seconds or until the vegetables are welted.
Before serving, add 1 tbsp of toasted sesame seeds and 1.5 tsp of the Xian La Fen seasoning, which is the soul of Shanghai Chow mein. Toss well and enjoy!

Free printable recipe is available on our site:
Servings 4-6 servings
Ingredients:
Slow-Cooked Pork Belly:
2.2 lb (1Kg) rindless pork belly slices chopped in half (each piece being approx. the length of your index finger)
4 1/4 cups (1 Litre) hot chicken/veg stock
1 thumb sized piece of ginger peeled and finely chopped (or 1 tbsp of minced ginger)
3 cloves garlic peeled and chopped in half
1 tbsp. rice wine
1 tbsp. caster sugar
Glaze:
2 tbsp vegetable oil
pinch of salt and pepper
1 thumb-sized piece of ginger peeled and minced
1 red chilli finely chopped
2 tbsp Honey
2 tbsp brown sugar
3 tbsp dark soy sauce
1 tsp lemon grass paste
To Serve:
Boiled rice
Green Vegetables
Instructions:
1. Add all the slow-cooked pork belly ingredients to a pan (not the glaze ingredients) I use a cast iron casserole pan.
2. Bring to the boil, then place a lid on, turn down the heat and simmer for 2 hours.
3. Turn off the heat and drain the pork. You can reserve the liquid if you like (Perfect for a Thai or Chinese noodle soup).
4. Chop the pork into bite sized chunks. Add 1 tbsp. of the oil to a frying pan, and then mix the remaining glaze ingredients in a small bowl.
5. Heat the oil and add in the pork, salt and pepper, frying on a high heat until the pork starts to turn golden.
6. Now pour the glaze over the pork and continue to cook until the pork looks dark and sticky.
7. Remove from the heat and serve.
Notes
Can I make it ahead?
Yes, you can make it up to the end of step 2 (where the pork is slow cooked and then drained). Then quickly cool, cover and refrigerate (for up to two days) or freeze. Defrost in the refrigerator overnight before slicing and frying the meat.
You can also make the sauce ahead, then cover and refrigerate it up to a day ahead.
Can I make it Gluten free?
Yes! Replace the soy sauce with tamari. I've done this several times and it works great.Replace the rice wine with sherry (usually gluten free, but best to check).Also make sure you use gluten free stock.
Can I use my slow cooker?
Yes, you can do the first stage in the slow cooker. Cook on high for 4-5 hours or low for 6-7 hours. Keep an eye on the level of liquid and top up with a little more if needed.

Pork Chow Fun Recipe (Learn to Make the Perfect Stir Fry Noodles)

???? BROWSE KITCHENWARE AND INGREIDENTS -

???? PRINTABLE RECIPE -
There was a noodle factory in my hometown, which was only 5 minutes walk from my house, so I grew up with fresh rice noodles. They are moist, tender, slightly chewy, fluffy, and don't break easily. However, I only have access to dried rice noodles since I moved to the USA. For this recipe, it is tricky to prepare thin rice noodles (angel hair thickness) for stir-fries; if you boil them, they break into short pieces easily; if you soak them in cold water, they lose the chewy texture. I found soaking them in hot water for a short time is the best way to maintain the texture and length. The noodles turn out just as good as fresh.
INGREDIENTS
To marinate the pork
200 grams of pork, cut into strips
1 tbsp of soy sauce (Amazon Link -
1 tsp of dark soy sauce (Amazon Link -
1/4 tsp of baking soda (Amazon Link -
1.5 tsp of cornstarch (Amazon Link -
To season the noodles
150 grams of angle hair thin dried rice noodles
1 tbsp of soy sauce (Amazon Link -
1 tbsp of oyster sauce (Amazon Link -
1 tsp of dark soy sauce (Amazon Link -
1/2 tsp of five-spice powder (Amazon Link -
1/2 tbsp of lard
Others:
2 tbsp of pork lard or cooking oil for stir-frying
2 eggs
150 grams of mixed julienned vegetables (I used onion, carrot, bean sprouts, and chives)
Toasted sesame seeds as garnish (Amazon Link -
Chili flake to taste optional (Amazon Link -
INSTRUCTIONS
Marinade the pork with soy sauce, dark soy sauce, baking soda, and cornstarch, then set aside while prepping other ingredients. The baking soda tenderizes the meat, and the cornstarch prevents the meat from drying while stir-frying; with both ingredients, you get a juice, tender pork.
Bring a pot of water to a light simmer. Turn off the heat. Soak the angel-hair-thin noodles for 1 minute, then drain thoroughly. Note: Thicker noodles take a longer time to soak.
Season the noodles with soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, pork lard, and five-spice powder. Then mix and fluff the noodles until most strings are loosened and set them aside. Thin noodles like to tangle together. Pre-fluffing them makes the stirring much easier. Seasoning the noodles before stir-frying is beginner-friendly because you can take your time to prepare all the sauce to avoid rummaging around.
Julienne some vegetables (I used onion, carrot, bean sprouts, and chives). Although you can use whatever you have in your fridge, mixing different vegetables with multiple colors and textures will make the dish tastier and prettier.
Beat two eggs in a bowl and set aside.
Turn the heat to high and pre-heat your wok until smoking hot. Then add one tbsp of pork lard and fry the egg until set. Break the egg into bite-size pieces. Remove to the side.
Add one more tbsp of lard, then stir the marinaded pork over high heat until the meat changes color. If you don't like animal fat, use the oil you prefer.
Add onion and carrot, and stir for a minute, then add the rice noodles and the bean sprouts. Keep cooking and fluffing the noodles over high heat until you smell a toasty rice fragrance. If you are cooking a carbon steel wok, high heat is the key to preventing the noodles from sticking to the bottom and getting that unique wok hay flavor.
Add the chives, egg, toasted sesame seeds, and chili flake at the end. Keep tossing until the chives are welted. Enjoy!
