Flat Noodles with Chicken and Pork Soup

It’s especially nice to have a bowl of hot soup during rainy seasons. That is what just the weather calls for this evening where I stay so I made this recipe. And since we have a large stock of that flat rice noodles which my brother had sent over from Taiwan, I again used it for this recipe.

Ingredients:

300 g Flat rice noodles

½ kg Chicken breast (cut into thin slices)

½ kg Pork (cut into thin slices)

4 cloves Garlic (finely minced)

1 pc. Onion (medium, finely sliced)

½ tsp. Black pepper (powder)

3 slice Ginger (about 1 tsp.)

1 tsp. Iodized salt

2 tbsp. Sugar

4 cups Water

¼ kg Carrot (julienned)

1 pc. Green bell pepper (julienned)

2 tbsp. Sesame oil

Cooking Instruction:

Prepare the noodles by boiling in a saucepan about 4 cups of water with a tablespoon of cooking oil. When the water reaches rolling boil, add the noodles and stir from time to time until cooked to desired tenderness. Strain and wash with tap water to stop the cooking.

In a pressure cooker place the chicken, pork, salt, black pepper, ginger, onion, garlic, and sugar. Pressure cook for about 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, turn off the flame and allow to cool down normally. Do not vent the steam. The additional time afforded by normal cooling will be used for further cooking of the contents of the pressure cooker which will be about 10-15 minutes. When no more pressure inside the cooker exists, open and add the carrot and bell pepper. Again turn on the heat and simmer for another minute. Add sesame oil and toss in the cooked noodles. Enjoy with plain steamed buns or bread.
