Chinese Wide Noodles with Barbecue Pork and Dried Mushrooms is a Chinese comfort-food favorite. This quick version of char siu pork amps up pork tenderloin with a marinade of sweet-salty hoisin sauce and aromatic five-spice powder. Then slivers of this meat meld with meaty wood ear mushrooms among chewy noodles bathed in a salty-sweet sauce.
These Asian dumplings are traditionally vegetarian but can also be stuffed with chicken, seafood, or vegetables. This recipe includes directions to make the wrappers. Or you can use refrigerated wonton wrappers from the produce section.
