Recipe - Silver Noodle Soup

3 tablespoon Peanut oil
1/3 pound Pork butt or shoulder,
slivered
1 tablespoon Slivered fresh ginger root
2 teaspoon Thin soy sauce
2 teaspoon Dry sherry
One fourth cup Slivered Szechuan mustard
green
4 cup Water
2 One half ounce (approx) bean thread noodles
1 tablespoon Minced fresh coriander
4 Sprigs of coriander for
garnish
2 teaspoon Sesame oil

Preparation: Marinate pork and ginger in thin soy and sherry for 30
minutes. Rinse chunk of Szechuan mustard green to remove all traces of
chili coating; sliver like pork. The chili flavor will still be there, but
in delicate balance with the mustard and pork. Soak noodles in warm water
for 15 minutes, then rinse and drain.

Stirfry: Add oil to hot wok; when it just begins to smoke, add pork and
ginger mixture. Stirfry 30 seconds. Add Szechuan mustard green; stir fry
2 minutes.

Soup: In 2quart saucepan, boil the water. Add hot pork stirfry; simmer
3 minutes. Five minutes before serving, bring broth to boil, and add
soaked noodles and minced coriander. Simmer 3 minutes or until noodles are
soft, but not pasty. Pour into serving bowl, garnish with coriander sprigs
and sesame oil, and serve.
