Inner Mongolia braised noodles

Inner Mongolia braised noodles

Overview

My husband is from Inner Mongolia. Although he is not picky about food, he always misses the food in his hometown. It’s hard to find restaurants in Inner Mongolia that suit the taste in Tianjin. I heard him talk about it a lot, so I tried it once. Unexpectedly, he ate a lot in one go and said it was the best he had ever eaten. I have never eaten Inner Mongolia braised noodles, and the cooking is definitely not authentic, but this meal similar to his hometown can comfort my homesickness.

  1. Ingredients: Spare ribs, green beans, wide hand-rolled noodles (should be sold wherever noodles are sold). Wash and dry the pork ribs, wash and tear off the tendons on both sides of the beans and break them into small pieces.
