A peppery twist on the hofan noodles I grew up enjoying in a Chinese-Filipino household. These Spicy Black Pepper Black Hofan are deliciously peppery—the thick chewy rice noodles are paired with delicious savoury flavours, and so easy to put together!

🥢 WHAT ARE HO FAN OR HO FUN NOODLES?

Ho fun or ho fan noodles (the latter is a term more commonly used in Chinese-Filipino communities here in the Philippines) are wide and flat rice noodles that are said to have originated from the Guandong province in China.

In restaurants, there are stir-fried ho fan dishes–usually stir-fried beef, chicken, and seafood ho fan. But ever since I went vegan I love having all vegetable ones with tofu or mushrooms for my protein!

These dried ho fan or thick rice noodles are very handy to have in your pantry.

CAN I USE FRESH RICE NOODLES?

Yes, of course! If you have access to fresh rice noodles, then I really recommend you use those. I don’t have easy access to fresh noodles so I usually use dried ones, since I can also easily store these in my pantry.

INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED TO MAKE THESE SPICY BLACK PEPPER HO FAN

Noodles

  • 3.5 oz dry hofan noodles/10mm thick flat rice noodles

Spicy Black Pepper Sauce

  • 1 tbsp peanut butter
  • 1 tbsp hot water
  • 2-3 tsp ground black pepper
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tsp dark soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp sugar add more or less depending on desired sweetness
  • 1 tbsp vinegar , i used rice vinegar
  • 1/2 to 1 tbsp chili oil with sediment homemade recipe here
  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce

For cooking

  • Neutral oil

Vegetables and Protein of Choice, I used:

  • Sliced onion
  • Minced garlic
  • Thinly sliced carrots
  • Sliced red and green bell pepper
  • Sliced king oyster mushrooms

HOW TO PREPARE THE RICE NOODLES OR HOFAN

Place the noodles in a heat-resistant bowl. Pour hot water and leave to sit for 6-7 minutes or until noodles have turned into a more solid white and are pliable.
