Char Siu Pork Meatballs with Egg Noodles

April 30, 2021 by themacphersondiaries

Jump to Recipe

I have created this quick dish that is packed full of flavour using Lee Kum Kee Char Siu Sauce. I use the Lee Kum Kee products often in cooking, the hoisin & soy sauce are regulars, but I hadn’t cooked with Char Siu sauce before. I thought perhaps others might be in a similar boat to me, so if you haven’t tasted it before, a simple way to describe it is an “oriental BBQ sauce”. It is sweet, salty and sticky. Yum right?!

So for this dish I added the sauce to pork mince for the meatballs, and then used the Char Siu sauce with garlic, chicken stock & water to make a simple sauce for the noodles. The meatballs are pretty addictive with that salty, sweet Asian flavour, and they go all glossy when fried. Serve the meatballs on top of the noodles with some steamed greens, sesame seeds, spring onion & chilli, if you desire.

FAQs

I don’t eat pork? No worries, swap out the pork for chicken or beef or a non meat mince.

Can I Swap out the vegetables? Absolutely. Bok Choy or Choy Sum would be great, but i would also serve this with broccoli, carrots and frozen corn.

  8. Place a frying pan over a medium heat add 1 tablespoon of oil

  11. In a separate pan add 1 teaspoon of oil, add the remaining ¼ cup char siu sauce, the chicken stock, & ½ cup of water, cook for around 2 minutes until combined and then add the noodles. Cook for 1 – 2 minutes until heated through.
