One half pound Ground pork
1 cup Cucumber; shredded
2 tablespoon Bean sauce; up to 3
2 Garlic cloves; minced; up to

One fourth teaspoon White pepper
One fourth teaspoon Salt
One half teaspoon Sugar
2 tablespoon Chicken broth or water
1 tablespoon Oil

*Recipe is included in this collection. PREPARATION: Parboil noodles in a
pot of water with 3 T. oil for 3 minutes. Rinse under cold water and drain
well. COOKING: In wok, heat 1 tbsp. oil. Brown pork with minced garlic and
bean sauce until pork is done. Add remainder of seasonings and water. Mix
well. Divide noodles into 2 or 3 portions according to appetite. Place in
soup bowl. Spoon pork mixture on one side of the noodles and garnish the
other side with the shredded cucumber. Serve. DO AHEAD NOTES: Do through
cooking of the pork mixture. Before serving, reheat mixture and spoon over
