Cooking Tips

1. The three essential elements for authentic egg noodles are a bit particular, namely Meilin luncheon meat, Demae Iccho instant noodles, and eggs. If you can buy them, I recommend using these, but they are really not cheap. Demae Iccho instant noodles don't seem to be available in ordinary supermarkets. I bought them at an imported food store, about 5 yuan a pack, but the noodles are really chewy, which makes me, who doesn't like instant noodles, say they are delicious. Moreover, the seasoning packet is not greasy, but powdery, which feels very refreshing. If you can't buy Demae Iccho, I recommend using Nissin's.

2. The most authentic way is to cook the noodles in boiling water, then add bone broth, and finally put the ingredients on. However, singles probably can't be so particular, so just make do with it and cook the noodles directly with the seasoning packet.

3. Chumae Ikcho instant noodles must be boiled. They probably won’t become soft if soaked in boiling water.

4. If you really can’t be so particular, just use ordinary instant noodles, add some ham, a boiled egg, and an apple.

5. In more authentic Hong Kong-style tea restaurants, egg noodles are served with iced milk tea or iced cola, and the taste is really good. It’s up to you to decide!

Dietary Tips

       A beloved dish among Hong Kongers, Hong Kong-style "egg noodles" are a must-have at any cha chaan teng (tea restaurant). While "egg noodles" refers to a dish on the menu, and the word "egg" can be interpreted as a modifier and definition of "noodles," much like "eel noodles" or "wonton noodles," the term "egg noodles" is a combination of three distinct food ingredients: "egg," "rice," and "noodles."

       The "meal" refers to sliced ​​canned luncheon meat, the "egg" is a fried egg, and the "noodle" is instant noodles. In authentic tea restaurants, the luncheon meat is always the domestic "Mei Lin" brand, the eggs are imported from the United States, and the instant noodles are either "Demae Iccho" or "Kouzai" sesame oil noodles from Hong Kong—a quintessential "global combination." The popularity of "meal and egg noodles" is likely due to the fact that the instant noodles themselves are so unpalatable, creating a striking contrast between the fried egg and luncheon meat.

       Instant noodles with eggs, meat, and vegetables are not only nutritionally balanced but also taste amazing. They're a perfect choice for singles dining alone. The biggest challenge of eating alone is figuring out what to eat. Simple and delicious is best. Cooking rice requires more rice, not to mention the vegetables. Therefore, a convenient and delicious bowl that combines both a staple and a side dish is the ideal choice.

       In fact, as long as you put more effort into the ingredients, ordinary instant noodles can be turned into a delicious meal. This may be a way for singles to find a nourishing meal. Of course, if you don’t pursue the taste too much, you can make unique "egg noodles" even in the office.

       Homemade "egg noodles" offer more flexibility. In offices without microwaves, you can easily substitute boiled eggs for fried eggs and ham for luncheon meat. If boiled eggs and ham are too simple, try a modified shrimp and fish noodle dish. This dish requires quail eggs, shrimp, squid, and celery. However, these ingredients must be cooked at home beforehand, marinated with mustard salt or ketchup, and then stored in airtight containers for the office. To eat, simply simmer the ingredients in the hot broth from the instant noodles. If you have access to a microwave, lightly sauté the ingredients in olive oil for a more flavorful dish.
