Zhacai rousi mian (pork and pickled mustard noodle soup)

Zhacai rousi mian is a breakfast and late-night bowl from Chongqing to Shanghai noodle shops: plain wheat noodles in a light seasoned broth, topped with shreds of pork stir-fried with crunchy, salty zhacai, the pickled mustard tuber from Fuling. This is a pork dish. The mistake to avoid is salting the topping before you taste it; zhacai is already very salty, and rinsing it briefly saves the bowl. Chef's tip: season the empty bowls with soy, sesame oil and spring onion first, then pour the hot stock over, the way noodle stalls do.

Mi saoVegetable fried noodles

Chinese families who settled in Toamasina and Antananarivo a century ago brought mi sao with them, and it is now one of the most ordered plates at any hotely, often eaten at lunch with a bowl of clear soup on the side. This version is all vegetables: shredded cabbage, carrot, green beans and spring onion tossed with springy wheat noodles, garlic, ginger and soy sauce until glossy and a little smoky. Because of the soy sauce and wheat noodles it is not gluten free. Overcrowding the pan is the usual mistake; it steams everything into a limp tangle, so cook in two batches if your wok or pan is small. Chef's tip: rinse the boiled noodles in cold water and toss them with a few drops of oil, so they fry into separate strands instead of a sticky clump.

ThukpaHimalayan noodle soup

Thukpa is the warming noodle soup of the Himalayas, eaten in Sikkim, Ladakh and the Tibetan settlements of the hills on cold evenings. A gingery, garlicky broth is cooked with carrot, cabbage and tomato, then wheat noodles and spinach go straight into the pot. It's light yet filling, savoury with soy and pepper and as spicy as you like with chilli on the side. Serve in deep bowls with a squeeze of lemon. Chef's tip: cook the noodles in the soup only just before serving; left standing, they keep drinking up the broth and turn soft.
