GLASS NOODLES WITH BACON AND BOK CHOY

This soft, delicate noodles dish is delicious and has a lot of good flavors in it and yes, including bacon. Everything tastes better with bacon including this Glass Noodles With Bacon and Bok Choy. It also has Chinese Bok Choy leafy greens, which is also one of my favorite vegetables. I would be the first one to admit, I’d prefer meat over vegetable, so trust me when I say this vegetable is delicious, it really is.

Let’s cook some food!

First thing first, if not already met, I’d like to introduce you to the Glass Noodles(aka Cellophane noodles or Bean Vermicelli). They are made from mung bean and water so if you are watching your carbs, this dish is perfect for you. You can find Glass Noodles at your local Asian store.

Soak noodles in hot tap water for 20 minutes (do not boil it, otherwise, it will become too mushy at the end). Drain them in a colander.

Next, let’s talk about the sauce ingredients,  I use Chinese chili crisp paste which adds the smokiness to the sauce, Oyster Sauce, Golden Mountain Seasoning Sauce (or light soy sauce), Sesame Oil and sugar.

Mix soy and Oyster Sauce, chili paste, sugar and Sesame Oil in a small bowl.

Cook the bacon in a large pan, medium heat until almost crispy.

Remove bacon from the pan and place them on a plate. Discard most of the grease and keep about 1 tablespoon in the pan.

Add chopped garlic to the pan with the remaining bacon grease and let cook for 1 minute.

Add Bok Choy into the pan and stir 2-3 minutes.

Add the noodles and bacon into the pan, stir for 1 minute.

Add the sauce mixture into the pan.

Stir for 2-3 minutes until everything mixed together. Turn off the heat. Serve hot and enjoy this Glass Noodles with Bacon and Bok Choy!
