Recipe: Lor Mee (Braised Noodles) 卤面

Pre-Covid, Hubby and I used to go out a few times a week for our lunches, eating up delicious hawker food and noodles. Nowadays, we still don't go out much for meals, and would rather cook up our own at home. One of the dishes I learnt how to make at home is one of my favourite noodle dishes, Lor Mee. 

Lor Mee 卤面 is like the white version of Hokkien mee, served in a thick gravy and with black vinegar. It is usually made with thick yellow noodles, but you know what, udon is a fantastic substitute for any braised noodle dishes. In the Lor Mee sauce, you will usually find pork loin (you can use chicken too), fish cake and prawns, along with some greens (choy sum or pak choy would work). I always serve the black vinegar on the side; so you can customize the taste as you like. This took me under 20 minutes to make, so easy! Will definitely be making this more often from now on for lunches.
