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.

Servings: 4

"When treasures are recipes they are less clearly, less distinctly remembered than when they are tangible objects. They evoke however quite as vivid a feeling-that is, to some of use who, considering cooking an art, feel that a way of cooking can produce something that approaches an aesthetic emotion. What more can one say? If one had the choice of again hearing Pachmann play the two Chopin sonatas or dining once more at the Cafe Anglais, which would one choose?"
