Slack Season Noodle Base

Traditionally served as a snack in Tainan, Taiwan, these noodles originated during the Tomb Sweeping festival when the island experienced frequent typhoons which resulted in less fish being caught. During this time a fisherman would walk around town selling noodles from a pole he carried on his shoulder, and so this dish also goes by another name: Ta-a-mi. 

With a blend of pork bone broth, taiwanese braised pork, shrimp stock, black vinegar, and garlic, this bowl of noodles packs a punch! Pair with some crunchy and flavorful vegetables and it becomes a well balanced meal.

We crafted this recipe to easily cook from frozen in less than 5 minutes without sacrificing flavor or texture.

Step 1: Make the broth on the stove or microwave

Do NOT add the garlic and black vinegar balls to your stock at this stage.

Stovetop method:

1. Place the frozen soup cube into a medium sized pot.
2. Prepare any additional toppings you would like.

Microwave method:

1. Warm up the broth in the microwave. Select defrost for 0.5 lbs of food.
2. Microwave for 3 minutes and stir.
3. Add in leafy vegetables if using, and microwave for an additional 1 minute.

For this method, we suggest using only leafy vegetables that will cook quickly. Do not use raw meat with this method.

Suggested toppings:

Some of our favorite additions not included in the kit are: bean sprouts and garlic chives. For something untraditional but more substantial, add in bok choy and stir fried cabbage.

Step 2: Prepare the noodles on the the stovetop

DO NOT defrost the noodles, they are intended to be cooked from frozen.

1. Boil the noodles in a pot separate from the broth. Use a large pot at least 2 quarts of water. Too little water can cause the excess starch to thicken took quickly and noodles to stick. Too small of a pot can cause the water to boil over quickly.
2. Prepare an ice bath and a glass of cold water to be used in the following steps.
3. Place the frozen noodles directly into the boiling water. Cook the thin noodles for a max of 1 minute and 30 seconds.
4. If the water starts to foam up, pour some of the cold water into the pot and watch the bubbles subside.
5. Once done cooking, drain the noodles in a colander and put into the ice bath immediately. Swish the noodles around to remove excess starch.

Step 3: Combine the noodles with your broth and garnishes

1. Put the hot broth in your favorite bowl. Add any additional toppings first.
2. Add the cooled noodles into the hot broth. The broth will reheat the noodles.
3. Add the frozen garlic balls and the frozen black vinegar balls for a flavor boost.
4. Serve immediately and enjoy!

When should I add the garlic and black vinegar to my noodles?
Add these flavor bombs in the last step. Do not microwave to preserve the bright flavors of these ingredients. They will melt and dissolve in the hot broth.

My noodles are coming out too soft. What should I do?
Decrease the cooking time by 30 seconds and be sure to add to an ice bath.

Keep in mind that adding steamed vegetable toppings will dilute the flavor too.
