Method:
1. Mix together ground bean sauce, sweet sauce and water, set aside.
2. Add wine and cornstarch to the minced pork, blend well. Cut the spring onions as finely as possible.
3.Heat 1 tbsp oil in a non-stick saucepan and fry the minced pork until the colour turned to white. Add in ginger and spring onion, followed by sugar. Cook until sugar has dissolved and add in broad bean sauce. Stir until well blended.
4. Add 1 to 3 and continue to stir until mixture has thicken over a low flame.
5. Pour the meat sauce over noodles and serve it with cucumber strips or boiled greens on side.



I love asparagus! Yet another way to devour these.


I notice this is how they order it in HK traditional coffee shop 茶餐廳. Very refreshing, I love it!



Throw in a dessert just to complete the meal.
