Fujian-style Stir-Fried Noodles

April 23, 2017

This is my Dad’s recipe for fujian style egg noodles that I’ve adapted to be easy to cook on weeknights. Though the recipe calls for ground pork you can substitute ground beef, ground chicken, shrimp, or tofu. It works best with fresh packaged egg noodles either from a Chinese or Japanese market.
