I think all of us have a soft spot for our mothers' cooking--it's always unbeatable. Lately, I've been really missing mom. She went through minor surgery and is recovering, but please pray for her.
I miss the comfort of eating a bowl of her noodles and seeing her smiling face. So Sunday's home cooked meal at my apartment was a tribute to my mother. Although I normally leave the Chinese cooking to her, I attempted to make her tasty bean paste noodles and three cups chicken.
On the menu for the night: bean paste noodles, three cups chicken, pickled vegetable, tofu with 1000 year old egg, kimchee, egg tarts, red bean soup with sticky sesame balls, rainer cherries and lychees.
A simple cold dish often served as a side in my home--soft tofu with 1000 year old egg, soy paste and some scallions.
Bean Paste Noodle
24 oz fresh knife cut noodless
8 oz bean paste
8 oz can hoisin
sesame oil
2 teaspoons ginger, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
16 oz lean ground pork
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 japanese cucumber, julienned
16 oz bean sprouts
Cook noodles in a medium pot of boiling water until al dente. Mix together bean paste and hoisin. In a hot pan, swirl in oil. Add ginger and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant. Add pork stir-fry breaking the meat into small chunks with a spatula. Scrape in bean paste mixture and continue cooking for another 2 minutes. Drain noodles and toss with sesame oil. Serve with a nice portion of noodles, a laddle of sauce and top with strips of cucumber and bean sprouts.
Three Cup Chicken
1 cup sesame oil, divided in half
4.5 pound chicken, chopped
8 cloves garlic, chopped
10 pieces sliced ginger, julienned
1 cup light soy sauce
1 cup white rice wine
1/4 cup white sugar
2 springs fresh Thai basil
Heat 1/2 cup of the sesame oil in a large pot. Stir-fry chicken pieces until lightly brown and crisp on the outside, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic and ginger and stir-fry for another minute. Pour in remaining sesame oil, soy sauce, and rice wine. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and let simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in white sugar and continue reducing until chicken is tender. Stir in Thai basil and simmer.
I had an obsession with rainer cherries as I was growing up. They're not only pretty but also delicious.
Lychees from Chinatown, $4 for 2lbs!
Homemade red bean soup with sticky sesame balls from Chinatown.
I'll have to agree with Chad that Egg Custard King still makes the best egg tarts, but Tai Pan Bakery makes some pretty tasty ones too.

Thank you to everyone who came for dinner. I loved seeing your faces. And mom-dad, I wish y'all were here too!

Hey Jessica,
These look fantastic full of my favorites (including 3-cup chicken!). I hope I'll have the honor of becoming one of your guests one day!
Hi Jex,
These look so delicious. The bean paste noodle looks very artistic. I belive (you don't believe) I can cook that dish. But, I can never decorate so well as I am not an artist.
Miss your cooking so much.
Mom wants to know how to print this article? She wants to post it somewhere visible and in her folder.
Pray for mom. She miss you so much.

Good stuff, JL!
I didn't know "Pee-Dan" is known as the "1000 year old egg". XD
