How to make Cha Ka Tieu (Stir fry noodles with pork belly)

fish

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: chicken

Tofu provides a plant-based option, while chicken is often less expensive than fish.

coconut milk

🥗Healthier: light coconut milk

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Light coconut milk reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

Boil a pot of water and add the rice noodles to soften them.

Soak the noodles briefly, then rinse them with water to stop cooking.

Add oil to the noodles to prevent them from sticking together.

In a pan, heat 3-4 tablespoons of oil and add chopped garlic until browned.

Add 3 lbs of pork belly to the pan and cook.

Stir in 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of chicken bouillon, and 2-3 tablespoons of oyster sauce.

Cook the pork belly until done, then remove some if the pan is too full.

Add a little water to the pan, then mix in the noodles with the pork.

Add bean sprouts and green onions to the mixture and cook briefly.

Finish the dish by serving with sriracha sauce.
