I am looking forward to making this recipe! I have one question about this sweet potato noodles, though. Is there a particular reason why you do not cook the sweet potato noodles in the broth itself? Just wondering! Thank you so much for all of your inspiration, and have a great day!

In reply to stormy. I think you can try out shirataki noodles, sometimes it's called calories zero noodles. It's made from root of the konjac plant, which is high in fiber, contain no digestible carbs, and very low in calories. You can find different shapes and they work well in this noodle soup.

Would love to hear of a low carb substitute for the noodles – I am diabetic and have to limit my carbs assiduously.

Loved this. My husband only had half a tbs of chili oil as he loves spice, but his tummy doesn’t. My eldest had seconds (. I forgot to give him the pork as was rushing, he came in and asked ” was that an accident?” I felt so bad. Gave him a second big serving.. I made sure to make more than enough. My boys eat big. There were other dishes. This was tonight’s winner

In reply to Sonja. It was popular in the earliy 90s in China, so I ate it often when I was in middle school. It burned my mouth so bad (because they make it even spicier in China), but we still ate it all the time :P So happy to hear you like this one and thanks for leaving a positive review!

OMG! This came out so amazing. I CANNOT even! No regrets. Only change I made was using beef because I grabbed the wrong protein for the freezer – still super tasty! Everything else was followed to the T.

Hi! I would love to try out this recipe, I’ve been craving for suan la fen these days. Could you please let me know if the amount of peppercorns added is 1/8 teaspoons, or 1/8 tablespoons? Thank you!
