Hello. Welcome to Mrs. Lin's Kitchen.
Today I'm going to show you how to make
Taiwanese style rice noodle soup
or mifen tang in Taiwanese
mifen means rice noodle
and tang is soup
just like lu rou fan and beef noodle soup
this dish is just as popular
and it's among one of the top
Taiwanese classic comfort food
ingredients that goes into the dish
varies in between different families
and today I'm goint to show you my mom's version
so let's get started
here is the ingredients overview
the measurement I share here is for
making two servings of noodle soup
however, if you like to add more shallot,
mushroom, meat, or bean sprout to each serving
feel free to do so
in order to become the authentic Taiwanese rice noodle soup
make sure to get the skinny
rice noodle from Taiwan
let's prepare the ingredients
first soak shiitake mushroom
in water for at least 30 minutes
next, squeeze out the juice
thinly slice the mushroom
next peel off the skin
and julienne the shallot
with the green onion,
cut it into shorter pieces
about one inch or one and a half inches
separate the white parts and the green parts
smash the white parts with your knife
and then cut in half lengthwise
julienne the green parts
next, thinly slice the pork sirloin
make sure to cut against the grain
I use pork sirloin
for making a heart healthy noodle soup
if you prefer tender juicy meat
please use either pork belly or pork shoulder meat
those meats are fattier
therefore it's more tender
to prepare the rice noodle
first bring a pot of water to a boil
when water comes to a boil
add the rice noodle in
and turn off the heat
let the rice noodles sit in hot water
for five minutes
if you use differentbrands of rice noodle
make sure to read the instructions
on the package
after five minutes
drain out the water
with the scissors
cut the rice noodle following a plus sign
so it's easier to eat
with chopsticks later
let's make the noodle soup now
in a pan
add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
and saute shallot on medium-high heat
until the shall is soft and fragrant
next, add the shiitake mushroom
and saute it together with the shallot
when shallot and mushroom
both turn golden brown
pour in 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
and stir well
then, add the pork
and saute everything
until the meat is no longer pink
when the pork is fully cooked
add the white parts of green onion
and stir everything together
next, pour 4 cups of water in the pan
give it a good stir
then increase the heat
and bring everything to a boil
when the water starts to boil
add the rice noodle
and let it cook in the soup for one minute
this way, the noodlewill absorb
the flavor of the soup
after 1 minute
move the noodle into your serving bowls
next, add bean sprouts into the soup
and blanch for about 10 seconds
you don't want to cut bean sprouts for too long
because they will lose the crunchy texture
take bean sprouts out
and place them in the noodles bowls
finally, pour 1 teaspoon of salt into the soup
and add the remaining green parts of the green onion
you can adjust the amount of salt used
according to your taste if there's
give the soup one last stir
then turn off the heat
pour the soup into two noodle bowls
your Taiwanese style rice noodle soup
is now ready to be served
enjoy
it is getting cooler
and a bowl of hot noodle soup sounds
very fitting for this weather
you can try my Taiwanese rice noodle soup
it is quick and easy
as long as you have all the ingredients at home
