Easy Mushroom & Pork Noodle 香菇肉碎面

It was a lazy sunday and we had a lie-in until nearly afternoon. Being so hungry and wanted something really quick and easy for our brunch. Looked into the fridge and not many ingredients we have got but minced pork and pak choy. Luckily we always have some noodles and mushrooms stored in the kitchen cabinet. Mushroom and pork noodle was what I decided without twice thinking and my boss likes it. Very simple, easy to make and not too heavy for a lazy afternoon ^^

Ingredients: (serve 2)
100g Pork mince
3 Shitake/dried Chinese mushroom
300ml Warm water
3 cloves Garlic (minced)
1tsp oyster sauce
1/2 tsp salt
1tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp Vegetable oil
White pepper to taste
1tsp sesame oil
1tsp corn flour mixed with 2tbsp of water
pak choy (washed and quartered - to garnish)
2 Yang Chun noodles (you can use any other noodles you like)
500ml water

Steps:
1. Wash and soak the mushrooms in a bowl with the 300ml of warm water for at least 20 minutes. Remove the stems and cut the mushrooms into thin slices. Keep the water for later use.
2. Heat a pan at medium heat and add 1/2 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add pork mince, stir fry and keep breaking the meat up with wooden spatula. Add mushrooms and stir fry for 30seconds or until fragrant.
3. Make a well in the middle, add 1/2 tbsp of oil followed by minced garlic. Stir the garlic within the well for a few seconds then stir other ingredients together in the pan.
4. Add oyster sauce, salt and white pepper into the meat mixture and stir well. 
5. Add the mushroom water into the pan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and keep simmering for 5-7 minutes.
6. In a pot, boil 500ml of water and cook the noodles for 8-10 minutes. Add Pak Choy together and get them up when the leaves become light green. When the noodles reaches the softness you like, drain and run cold water over the noodles. Shower the noddles with some hot water and drain quickly. Divide the noodles into 2 portions. 
7. Taste the mushroom sauce and add soy sauce gradually to your taste. 
8. Stir and add the corn flour mixture. Stir well to thicken the sauce. Lastly add the sesame oil and stir well.
9. Pour the pork and mushroom over the noodles, garnish with the Pak Choy and you are done!
