Recipe - Basic Lomein

4 Dried black mushrooms
1 cup Roast pork
One half cup Celery
1 cup Chinese cabbage
One half cup Bamboo shoots
One half cup Bean sprouts
6 Snow peas
2 Slices fresh ginger root
1 Garlic clove
2 tablespoon Oil
1 tablespoon Sherry
One half cup Stock (chicken)

Soak dried mushrooms. Slice roast pork, celery, cabbage and bamboo shoots.
Blanch bean sprouts. Stem snow peas. Shred ginger root and crush garlic.
Heat oil. Add ginger root and garlic; stir fry to brown lightly. Add pork
and stir fry a few times. Then add in sherry to blend. Add all vegetables
except snow peas and stir fry 1 minute more. Add stock and heat quickly.
Then cook,covered, 3 minutes over medium heat. Stir in snow peas. Combine
mixture with tossed noodles (*See below) Variations: Substitute cooked
beef,ham, chicken, duck, crabmeat, lobster or shrimp. You can also add
shredded green onion to the garlic/ginger mixture. I use Shaoxing wine
instead of sherry, which is more authentic. *To cook noodles, prepare
boiling water with a little salt. Add noodles and cook until barely done.
Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking. Separate noodles with a
fork, then toss them with a little sesame oil or peanut oil and set aside
until they are ready to go into your stirfry for the final heat. You will
want about a pound of noodles for the above recipe. This recipe is simply a
guideline for a dish that can be varied in a thousand ways!
