Directions
Soak the noodles in a large bowl of warm water for 15 minutes.
When they are soft, drain them and discard the water.
Cut them into 3-inch lengths using kitchen scissors or knife.
Put 1 tablespoon of oil into a hot wok or pot, then add the scallions and garlic and stir-fry quickly for a few seconds.
Add the meat and stir-fry until it is cooked. (This should take between 5 and 10 minutes.)
Then add all the sauce ingredients, except the sesame oil and cook the mixture over a gentle heat for about 5 minutes.
Now add the drained noodles and sesame oil and cook the mixture for a further 5 minutes.
Ladle some noodles and sauce into individual bowls or into one large serving bowl, and serve at once.
