Spicy Black Pepper Hofan (Rice Noodles)
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, packed with delicious savoury flavours, and so easy to put together!
Ingredients
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
Vegetables and Protein of Choice, I used:
- Sliced onion
- Minced garlic
- Thinly sliced carrots
- Sliced red and green bell pepper
- Sliced king oyster mushrooms
Instructions
- 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. Remove noodles from water.
- In a bowl, mix the hot water and peanut butter until the peanut butter has dissolved. Add in the rest of the sauce ingredients, mix well, and then set aside.
- Heat a pan. Add in some oil. Once hot, add in the sliced onions and garlic. Sauté until aromatic. Add in the carrots, mushrooms, and bell peppers, and other vegetables you’re using. Sauté until cooked.
- Add the noodles into the pan. Pour in the sauce and mix with the noodles. Leave the noodles to cook for 2-3 minutes. Once the noodles have absorbed the sauce and they’re cooked and perfectly chewy to your liking, turn off the heat.
- Serve and enjoy while hot!
