I am always inspired to learn about other cultures through food, hence the inclusive global theme of this blog. As such, the world is full of so many new and delicious recipes to try. Because of this, I rarely do a recipe more than once.

With the 1000+ recipes on the blog, I can probably count on one hand the number of recipes I have made more than once. One of these is char sui. Although I had grown up eating char sui with the large Chinese population in the Caribbean, when I developed the recipe for making the home made marinade instead of using the store bought jarred version, there was no comparison.

I have made char sui several times since so when I had some leftover in the fridge, it was the perfect time to try the recipe for this Hong Kong Noodle Soup.

This recipe I adapted from  Entree to Asia, which I received as a housewarming gift many years ago from a co-worker. This book includes recipes from all throughout Asia including China, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore. Once you have your char sui already made, this soup is put together very quickly.

For other uses of leftover char sui, you can also try Char Sui Nasi Goreng.

However, if you don’t have char sui or don’t eat pork, you can easily substitute with whatever cooked meat you have about – chicken, roast beef, lamb – can all be added into this delicious noodle soup.

If you would like to make a vegetarian version, omit the meat and the shrimp all together.

Chinese New Year
