Ingredients:





   2/3 c  TVP


   1/2 c  Hot water


     1 tb Chopped or grated ginger


          Root


     2 tb Soy sauce


     1    To 2 Tbsp hot bean paste


   1/2 ts Salt (optional)


 3 1/2 oz Bean thread noodles


     2 c  Veggie broth or water (avoid


          Broth that may have a sweet


          Taste)






 Pour the boiling water over the TVP and let it sit for 10 minutes. Saute


 the gingerroot in a very small anount of oil or other liquid. Add the soy


 sauce, bean paste, salt and TVP. Cook very very gently and stir frequently


 as it burns easily. Cook about 5 minutes and set aside.


 


 Cook the bean threads in the broth until the broth has been absorbed by the


 noodles. Add the noodles to the TVP mixture and stir until blended


 evenly...ie. all the "ants" are distributed throughout. Enjoy!


 


 Source: This is a dish that was a favorite at our local Chineses eatery. I


 used to make it with ground turkey (before I saw the light) and have found


 that TVP works just as well. It's hot and spicy...delicious and just a


 little different.
