Ingredients:





     4    Dried black mushrooms


     1 c  Roast pork


   1/2 c  Celery


     1 c  Chinese cabbage


   1/2 c  Bamboo shoots


   1/2 c  Bean sprouts


     6    Snow peas


     2    Slices fresh ginger root


     1    Garlic clove


     2 tb Oil


     1 tb Sherry


   1/2 c  Stock (chicken)






 Soak dried mushrooms. Slice roast pork, celery, cabbage and bamboo shoots.


 Blanch bean sprouts. Stem snow peas. Shred ginger root and crush garlic.


 Heat oil. Add ginger root and garlic; stir fry to brown lightly. Add pork


 and stir fry a few times. Then add in sherry to blend. Add all vegetables


 except snow peas and stir fry 1 minute more. Add stock and heat quickly.


 Then cook,covered, 3 minutes over medium heat. Stir in snow peas. Combine


 mixture with tossed noodles (*See below) Variations: Substitute cooked


 beef,ham, chicken, duck, crabmeat, lobster or shrimp. You can also add


 shredded green onion to the garlic/ginger mixture. I use Shaoxing wine


 instead of sherry, which is more authentic. *To cook noodles, prepare


 boiling water with a little salt. Add noodles and cook until barely done.


 Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking. Separate noodles with a


 fork, then toss them with a little sesame oil or peanut oil and set aside


 until they are ready to go into your stir-fry for the final heat. You will


 want about a pound of noodles for the above recipe. This recipe is simply
a


 guideline for a dish that can be varied in a thousand ways!
