Xibei iron pot braised noodles

Overview

People from western Inner Mongolia and Shanxi are keen on a kind of delicacy that combines meat, vegetables and noodles - iron pot braised beans and noodles. After coming to Beijing, I tried several methods but thought they were not authentic. Later, I learned from my mother that the noodles should be braised with meat and vegetables. The noodles have the flavor of meat and coriander, which is the authentic Xibei Braised Noodles.

  3. Heat the oil over cold heat, add a little more oil, and add the blanched pork ribs. 2. Stir-fry the pork ribs until golden brown, and add minced garlic. Minced garlic can not only enhance the flavor, but also make the pork ribs more tender. 3. Stir-fry the garlic for a few times, add the minced onion and ginger, pour in the soy sauce, cover the pot and cook. 4. After the ribs are colored, add hot water, salt, and half a tomato. The purpose of adding tomatoes is to make the soup look better. 5. Stew the ribs for 30 minutes.
