Ingredients:





   1/4 c  Rice wine


     2 tb Ginger root, grated fresh


     2    Garlic cloves, minced


     1 c  Carrots, thinly sliced


     1 c  Broccoli stems, sliced thin


     1 c  Cabbage, sliced thin


     2    Green onions


   1/4 c  Water


   1/2 ts Sesame oil, dark


   1/2 ts Cayenne pepper


     1 tb Honey (omit if vegan)


     1 ts Hoisin sauce (optional)


     4 c  Rice noodles, cooked


          Soy sauce to taste






 In a wok over medium-high heat, heat rice wine or mirin until bubbling. Add


 ginger, garlic, carrots and broccoli. Stir-fry until carrots soften


 slightly, about five minutes. Add cabbage and green onions; cover and cook


 three minutes.  With a slotted spoon, remove vegetables to a platter and


 set aside. Add water, sesame oil, up to 1 tsp. cayenne, honey and hoisin


 sauce, if desired, to wok and heat until bubbling. Add noodles and stir-fry


 until heated through. Add vegetables and heat through. Add soy sauce to


 taste. Note: The sesame oil gives this dish a great flavor, but leave it


 out if you can't afford the few grams of fat it contributes.
