Every year my family has a different regional theme for our holiday meal. These themes are entirely decided by the whims of my father. Several years ago, my family was celebrating Thanksgiving with some friends from Hong Kong, so we decided to have all the traditional foods done in a Chinese Style. This recipe came from my mother’s hairstylist’s mother, who wanted her children to share holiday traditions that were Chinese and American.
This is something that I do mainly for my father because he really loves Chinese food. If you can’t find Chinese noodles you can substitute Thai noodles. Please don’t use rice noodles because they are too thin and white and will hardly be noticed. Also, the amount of soya sauce is a bit high in this recipe, so feel free to reduce as much as possible. The amount given here will only be a suggestion and really reflects my family’s tastes and no one else’s.
Looks abit like mush by the end of it, but tasstes pretty good. Substitute equal amounts of pork, if wanted.
This recipe makes a nice looking little meal, from a book titled “Take Three”, but the Chinese broccoli and sesame oil can be omitted to have just the chops! Rather than the broccoli, I’d probably have boy choy instead. Cooking time includes marinading time.
I adopted this recipe from a recipe book, I got from the library. MashaAllah! This is the best salad I have ever had–especially the sauce, it is so yummy.
