Today I am not using udon or vermicelli noodles, but thin koay teow which is use for soup. I have stewed pork chop canned that I have not use and bought the wrong canned pork. I intended to buy stewed pork sliced canned and got luncheon pork canned instead.
I found there are some leftovers napa cabbage, one broccoli, one packet of thin koay teow and some carrots. Therefore, I decided use them before the expiry dates. It has been ages that I have not had koay teow. This is trial and error cooking it.
This recipe is not a noodle soup but stir fry with flavoured caramelised of both pork. I have to try and taste to see if vegetables are cooked and also with the right amounts to finally able to write it down. As everyone have different taste bud; I recommend that you always check your seasoning well to your taste bud till you get it delicious.
My cheat stewed pork give extra flavour to koay teow along with vegetables and chicken stock caramelised both pork. You can even slurp up your koay teow and feel satisfied delicious with your bowl clean completely. Let’s cook.
