"Braising is a unique way to cook noodles, which is popular in northern regions of China. It uses the steam to give noodles a flavorful bath and lends chewy texture at the same time. If you don’t have fresh wheat noodles, use thin dried noodles instead. You can even use instant noodles. For a vegetarian variation, you can replace pork with firm tofu or just leave it out. Potatoes and tomatoes also work great in this dish."
