Takes about five minutes once the water is boiling and approximates what you can find for lunch in a true Hong Kong family-style restaurant.

He first had it in San Francisco’s Chinatown on our honeymoon; when we came back home, he was thrilled to find a homestyle Cantonese restaurant that served it. (My favorite noodle soup is shredded pork with preserved vegetable. Not that I will turn my nose up at char sui ramen.)

The place where we pick up the char sui also makes a beautiful rendition of that soup. The pork/chicken stock is rich in flavor and full of body.

After we move, I will be forced to make up gallons of that stock and freeze it, along with char sui, so we can have it on hand. I always have noodles, so the only other thing I would have to have is the greens, which are easily found in Athens.
