Spicy Cellophane Noodles Recipe

Recipe Ingredients:

2 cups chicken broth
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 1/2 tbsp rice wine
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp vegetable oil
3 tbsp scallions, minced
1 1/2 tbsp ginger root, minced
1 tbsp garlic, minced
1 tsp hot chili paste
4 oz cellophane noodles
2 tbsp scallions (green part), minced




3/4 lb shrimp, optional
- (not in original)
- or ground browned turkey, optional

Recipe Instructions:

Cellophane noodles, also
called bean threads, are made from mung beans, so this recipe might be
suitable for people with wheat allergies.

Soak the cellophane noodles in hot water (hot tap water is ok) for 20 minutes to soften. Drain and set aside.

Combine the first 5 ingredients to make the sauce. Set aside.

Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add
the scallions, ginger, garlic, and chili paste. Stir and fry for
about 10 seconds, until fragrant. Add the sauce mixture and the
cellophane noodles. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low.
Simmer until almost all of the liquid has evaporated. Serve
mmediately, sprinkled with the minced scallion greens.

"Americans, more than any other culture on earth, are cookbook cooks; we learn to make our meals not from any oral tradition, but from a text. The just-wed cook brings to the new household no carefully copied collection of the family's cherished recipes, but a spanking new edition of ‘Fannie Farmer’ or ‘The Joy of Cooking’."

~ John Thorne, American food writer
