Roasted Pork & Dry Noodles, My Favourite When In Hong Kong

ROASTED PORK & DRY NOODLES

choy sum, pickled mustard greens, chicken broth & spicy seasoning

One of my favourite dishes when in Hong Kong

Today we are going to cook one of my favourite dishes when in Hong Kong or any Chinatown of Southeast Asia: Roasted pork with dry egg noodles, an explosion of flavours for a 5-star street food dish! For an amazing taste: you can use some Char Siu (that you can find in any Asian supermarket) to marinate your meat, then roast your pork on the oven. This recipe is part of my new masterclass series “Cooking at Home with Will Meyrick”.

Chicken Khao Soi, A Curry Coconut Soup Recipe

CHICKEN KHAO SOI

with crispy noodles, pickled mustard greens, and chilli jam

Flavours from Northern Thailand

This curry/coconut noodle soup is originated from Northern Thailand, although it also takes influences from the Laotian and Burmese cuisine cultures.

Pay attention to the red chilli paste you will use in the recipe, as the ready-to-cook ones are often well-seasoned.
