Big Plate Chicken and Belt Noodles
This hearty and flavorful Chicken Stew with Hand-Pulled Noodles is a comforting dish that combines tender bone-in chicken chunks, soft potatoes, and crisp bell peppers in a rich, aromatic sauce. The recipe starts by stir-frying chicken fat with garlic, onions, scallions, and dried chili peppers for deep, smoky flavors. The chicken is then seared and simmered in a savory blend of light and dark soy sauce with maltose, creating a glossy, caramelized coating. Potatoes are added for a creamy texture, while bell peppers bring a fresh crunch. Served with homemade hand-pulled noodles—stretched thin for the perfect chew—this dish is a satisfying meal. The noodles, kneaded and rested for optimal elasticity, soak up the delicious stew, making every bite irresistible. Garnished with fresh cilantro, this recipe is a must-try for lovers of bold, homestyle cooking.
