    Pork Belly Hor Fun. A delicious, savoury Chinese noodle dish that is ready in 20 minutes! Perfect for a weeknight meal for dinner or as leftovers for lunch.

    Hor Fun noodles is a classic Cantonese style noodle dish. Usually it's cooked with beef but I wanted to share a very fast version of this noodle dish that doesn't require you to marinate the meat.

    So I'm using pork belly which is juicy and quite a fatty meat which already possesses a wonderful flavour to it.

    This is a dish that I would order a lot at the Chinese restaurant. In fact, it's my mother's favourite dish. She would always order the Beef Hor Fun. She'd order it so much that I could say it in Cantonese fluently when I am terrible in Cantonese speaking. I can only say the basics. Honestly. You'd think I was joking after graduating from Chinese School taking it for 8 years straight, repeating grade 7...But hey, I tried and it was difficult to speak especially when you live in a household that speaks only English!

    What isΒ hor fun noodles?

    They're basically wide flat rice noodles. When boiled or cooked, they're soft and chewy. Hor fun noodles are also gluten-free.

    Where to buy hor fun noodles?

    You can buy them at any Asian grocer in the dried section. They usually look something like this picture below.

    Or they can come fresh in the refrigerated section. If you can find the fresh kind, go with that. It tastes so much better!

    Should I boil these noodles?

    No, I would only recommend soaking them in hot water for 7 minutes. Then strain them and reserve some of the water for later when you cook them in the frying pan. If you boil your noodles, and then fry them, you may end up with soggy noodles that loose their chewy texture.
