Mom’s Homemade Noodles

This green pepper and egg over noodles (qīngjiāo jīdàn miàn) recipe is a dish that my mom used to cook for the family when I was a girl. The ingredients are simple, the cooking is convenient, and the taste is homemade. I haven’t eaten noodles like this for a long time.

Lately I have begun to remember things from my childhood, like my mom’s homemade noodles. This is my childhood memory, the taste of my mother’s cooking. Now that I am grown, I try to make noodles the way mom made them, but I can’t make it taste quite the same as she did. In fact, I’ve lost track of the smell, I just remember the ingredients that she used. I can’t quite recreate the taste of my mom’s homemade noodles. Maybe I made this noodle just to miss the taste. I miss the noodles my mother cooked in my childhood. 

The ingredients used in this recipe are all simple and common: green peppers, eggs, and tomatoes. In China, home-cooked vegetables served over noodles are inexpensive and common, but my mother used these ingredients to cook countless lunches and dinners for us.
