Steps
- Mash 30g of anchovy paste into a paste.
- Add cooking sake (rice wine) to taste to a pot and boil to evaporate the alcohol.
- Add the mashed anchovy paste to the boiled sake and simmer to infuse the sake with the anchovy's saltiness and flavor.
- Add white sesame oil to taste and 1 tbsp of anchovy oil to the pot, mix, and bring to a simmer.
- Add 1 tbsp minced garlic, 1 tbsp minced ginger, and 1 dried red chili. Simmer slowly while mixing.
- Once the oil is incorporated and most of the moisture has evaporated, add sugar to taste and ground sansho pepper to taste and mix.
- Let cool slightly, then transfer to a jar and store in the refrigerator. It can be stored in the refrigerator for about 1 month.
- In a heatproof container, place 1 pack (150g) of yakisoba noodles, add a small amount of soy sauce and 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil, and mix.
- Cover with plastic wrap and microwave (600W) for about 1 to 1 minute 30 seconds to soften the noodles. The noodles will become fluffy and soft, and the aroma of soy sauce and sesame oil will transfer to the noodles.
- Heat 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil in a frying pan, add the softened noodles, and fry on both sides until browned and fragrant. Aim for a state where the surface is golden brown and slightly charred, creating 'Jian Men Fun'.
- Transfer the fried noodles to a separate container, draining off excess oil.
- In the same frying pan, add pork belly to taste and stir-fry until nicely browned.
- Add 1 bag of mixed cut vegetables and stir-fry, coating them with the pork belly fat.
- Once the vegetables start to soften, make a space in the center of the pan, add 2 tbsp of the prepared Jian (sauce paste), and mix with the vegetables.
- Add 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, and a pinch of pepper and mix.
- When moisture is released, return the fried noodles to the frying pan, mix everything together, and allow the noodles to absorb the moisture.
- Finish with a drizzle of toasted sesame oil, stir briefly to combine, and serve.
