Noodles with Pickled Mustard Greens (雪菜魚煨麵, 雪菜肉絲麵)

Previously we posted two veggie dishes with pickled mustard greens.  Here are two noodle dishes using the same versatile ingredient.  The first dish below is a noodle dish that seems to be popular in the Shanghai region, where noodle is not a main staple food.

I. Shanghai-style simmered noodle with fish filet and pickled mustard greens (雪菜魚煨麵)

1. Get a pack of Pickled Mustard Greens (雪菜), rinse it with running tap water and mince.  Note- Taste a sample of the Pickled Mustard Greens to make sure it is not too salty.  If it is too salty, soak in water for 10 minutes, drain out water and taste again, if it is indeed too salty.  Repeat the process if necessary.
2. Cut two pieces of fish filet into 1/4 cubes.  Marinate the fish cubes with 2 Tbsp of rice cooking wine, for 10-15 minutes.
3. Heat a pot of water and cook your favorite noodle following the instructions on the noodle package.  Take the noodle out when ready and set aside.
4. Pour a can of chicken broth (~1.5 cups) into a medium-sized pot, add 3 cups of water.  Bring to boil and let simmer. Add the cooked noodle into the pot and cook at low heat for 10-12 minutes.
5. Place the minced Pickled Mustard Greens.  Bring to boil and let simmer for 2-3 minutes (skip this simmering 2-3 minutes if you'd like the veggie to be a bit crispy, i.e., not as soft as the noodle).  Finally, add the fish filet cubes into the pot, bring to boil and let simmer for 2-3 minutes.  Here is a picture of the finished product.
   

II. Noodle with pickled mustard greens and sliced pork (雪菜肉絲麵)

1. Get a pack of pickled mustard greens (雪菜), and chopped slightly into smaller chunks.  Note- See note in Step 1 above.
2. Slice ~1/4 lb of lean pork, and marinate with 1 Tbsp of rice cooking wine, 1 Tbsp of soy sauce, and 1 tsp of corn starch, for 10-15 minutes.
3. (High heat) Heat 2-3 Tbsp of veggie oil in a flat bottom cooking pan.  Add marinated pork slices and stir-fry for a minute or two.  Add chopped Pickled Mustard Greens and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes.  Note- A picture of the intermediate result is shown to the right here.  This can be served as a dish in and of itself.
4. Heat a pot of water and cook your favorite noodle following the instructions on the noodle package.  Take the noodle out when ready and set aside.
5. Pour a can of chicken broth (~1.5 cups) into a medium-sized pot, add 3 cups of water.  Bring to boil and let simmer.  Add the cooked noodle into the pot.
6. Place cooked pork and  Pickled Mustard Greens from Step 3 into the pot. Bring to boil and let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
