Directions
TO PREPARE THE MEAT SAUCE: Heat about 3 tablespoon oil in wok, brown the ginger and green onion, then add meat and brown together.
Mix together the bean (or hoisin) and soy sauces, add this mixture to the meat, and stir fry briefly.
Then add rice wine, sugar, MSG and sesame oil.
Add the chicken broth and simmer for about 3 minutes, until the sauce becomes thick and shiny.
Put mixture in a serving bowl and set aside.
(GARNISHES) : Boil bean sprouts for 1 minute, drain, and put in serving bowl.
Warm peas and put in a serving bowl.
Cut cucumber into very fine strips, or grate.
Place in serving bowl.
Scramble eggs, fry into very thin pancakes, and cut into thin strips.
TO SERVE: Cook noodles in boiling water for 3 minutes; drain.
If you are preparing this dish ahead, rinse with cold water, drain, and add about 1 tablespoon sesame seed oil and mix well.
Serve about 1 cup hot or cold noodles in a bowl, then add the garnishes and meat sauce to taste.
