94. BBQ Pork Fried Shanghai Noodle

Description: The BBQ Pork Fried Shanghai Noodle at Brothers Chinese is a delightful crossroad where comfort meets culinary invention. This dish is a hearty, flavorful combination of tender, smoky barbecued pork slices that have been stir-fried to perfection with Shanghai noodles. These noodles are renowned for their thicker, chewier texture, which allows them to stand up to the intense BBQ flavor. The dish is intertwined with various vegetables like bell peppers, onions, and bean sprouts that provide a vibrant contrast to the savory pork. Drenched in a balanced soy-based sauce, this dish promises a complexity of flavors in every bite.

Fun fact: The Shanghai noodles used in this dish are a type of wheat noodle known in China as ‘Cu Mian’. They are thicker than most noodles and owe their unique texture and mild flavor to the soda water used in their preparation. Their substantial heft and ability to absorb sauces make them perfect for robust stir-fry dishes like BBQ Pork Fried Shanghai Noodle.
