Instructions
- [Authentic Recipe]

- Prep sauce at the bottom of a bowl: mix premium lard (or scallion oil), soy sauce, thick soy sauce (Jiangyou Gao), and a little sugar.
- Boil Bantiao briefly (1-
- mins) in hot water. Blanch bean sprouts and chives with it.
- Put thoroughly drained Bantiao and veg in the bowl.
- Top with sliced boiled lean pork, and sprinkle a heaping tablespoon of 'You Cong Su (crispy fried shallots)'—the lifeblood of Hakka cuisine—as much as possible.
- Right before eating, mix thoroughly so the lard and soy sauce cling thickly to the flat noodles.
