Inspired by Chinese noodle salad, this is Kwong family’s special recipe. Along with noodle salad, the dish contains Chinese barbecue pork pieces that will surely please meat lovers. For this recipe freshly prepared thin egg noodles are needed as these are quite delicate in texture and not so filling. But you can even prepare it with Hokkien or Shanghai noodles, depending on your taste.
