Air Fryer Malaysian Hokkien Mee Pork Noodle Pots

Malaysian Hokkien mee coats thick noodles with dark soy, pork, greens and a savoury stock until everything shines. Pork belly and crispy lard are the traditional engines under the bonnet. The belly renders in the air fryer before the noodles finish in its fat and sauce. Heatproof pots trap enough steam to soften the noodles while the top edges pick up valuable char.

You’ll Need

For the Pork
500g pork belly, cut into thin strips
200g raw peeled king prawns
2 garlic cloves, finely grated
½ tsp ground white pepper
For the Noodle Pots
600g ready-to-wok thick egg noodles
250ml chicken stock
2 tbsp dark soy sauce
1 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tsp soft brown sugar
200g pak choi, roughly chopped
To Finish
Crispy fried shallots
Lime wedges
Optional but dangerous
Sambal belacan
Extra pork crackling
A cold Malaysian lager

Method

Preheat your air fryer to 200°C.

Air fry the pork belly strips in a large heatproof dish for 9-11 minutes, stirring twice.

Add the garlic and white pepper and cook for 1 minute.

Stir the stock, soy sauces, oyster sauce and sugar together.

Add the noodles and sauce to the pork, toss well and cover tightly with foil.

Air fry at 180°C for 8 minutes, then stir thoroughly.

Fold in the prawns and pak choi and cook uncovered for 6-8 minutes.

Check the pork has reached 75°C and the prawns are opaque and piping hot.

Finish with crispy shallots and lime and serve from the pots.

Lad Tip: Separate the noodles with your fingers before they enter the dish. A solid brick stays a solid brick, only now it is dark brown and surrounded by disappointed pork.
