Bakmi Keriting - Pork and Tianjin Preserved Vegetables Noodles
Ground pork and Tianjin preserved vegetables with fresh egg noodles, a.k.a. bakmi keriting in Indonesian, is one of the more ubiquitous noodle dish, especially among the Chinese communities in Indonesia. The great thing with this noodle dish is you can make ahead the ground pork and Tianjin preserved vegetables part and blanch the fresh egg noodles and Chinese mustard green just prior to serving. As you can imagine, if you triple or quadruple the ground pork part and keep in the fridge, you can whip out this noodle dish for breakfast very quickly. ♥

This is a really wonderful recipe. Made it several times already. Lovely photography as well! Thanks for this.
You are welcome Tommy, and thanks for the compliment.
Going to try this recipe but I'm wondering what to substitute for the Chinese mustard greens. I only make it down to the nearest Asian market a few times a year... Thanks
Hi Jacob, you can try using bok choy, or even napa cabbage :)
Hi Anita, if i don't use the tianjin preserved vege, will it make a difference? Or can i substitute with others? Thanks ☺
Hi Li Xia, you can omit tian jin preserved vegetables if you don't have them. Or, you can try substituting with 2-3 shiitake mushrooms.
Made this for the family lunch. Followed the meat recipe to a T, and it was excellent! Everyone loved it! Used the capellini pasta noodles that I had on hand, topped it with fried shallots along with the preserved mustard green:) Thank you Anita! Keep up the excellent work!
Very easy and quick to make. Tasty!
