Answers: CHINESE PAN FRIED NOODLES:
Ingredients:
1 pound fresh Chinese egg noodles (dried is ok)
1 tablespoon sesame oil
Sauce:
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
2 teaspoons rice wine or rice vinegar, or to taste
Other:
1 cup mung bean sprouts
2 cups shredded Napa cabbage
2 teaspoons minced ginger
1 green onion
8 tablespoons oil for stir-frying, as needed
PREPARATION:
In a large saucepan, add enough water to cover the fresh noodles and bring to a boil. Add the noodles, stirring to separate. Cook until the noodles are al dente - tender, but still firm. Drain thoroughly. Rinse with cold water, drain again, and toss with the sesame oil. If using dried noodles, cook as directed.
In a small bowl, stir together the sauce ingredients. Rinse and drain the mung bean sprouts. Wash and finely shred the cabbage. Mince the ginger. Cut the green onion on the diagonal into 1-inch pieces.
In a heavy frying pan or a wok, heat 3 tablespoons oil over medium-high to high heat. When the oil is hot, add the ginger and green onion. Stir-fry until aromatic (about 30 seconds).
Add 2 tablespoons oil. When the oil is hot, add the noodles. Quickly spread them out to the edges of the pan, and then let them cook, without stirring, until they are browned on the bottom (5 - 8 minutes).Flip over and brown the other side. Remove to a plate. Keep warm while preparing other ingredients for the meal.
Heat 2 tablespoons oil. When the oil is hot, add the cabbage. Stir-fry for 2 minutes. Pour in the sauce and bring to a boil. Thicken with a cornstarch and water mixture if desired. Stir in the mung bean sprouts. Pour over the noodles and serve hot.
