Vegetables and Pork Over Chinese Noodles

The sweet-and-spicy sauce flavors of this typical chinese delicacy
accentuates the vegetables and noodles taste too. And thus
understandably it is likeable.

Ingredients

1 tsp. cornstarch
3 tbsp. reduced-sodium soy sauce, divided
1/4 cup dry sherry
8 ounce(s) pork, stripped into thin slices
1/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
1 tsp. brown sugar
1 pound(s) Chinese wheat noodles (wide lo mein noodles) or linguine
2 tsp. canola oil
3 clove(s) garlic, minced
2 tsp. finely chopped fresh ginger
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper
1/4 cup water
2 carrots, peeled, cut in half lengthwise and thinly sliced
3 scallions, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and cut into thin strips
6 ounces snow peas, tough strings and ends removed

Chinese Noodles


Way to make-

Combine cornstarch, 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon of the
sherry in a medium bowl. Add pork and toss to coat. Cover and
refrigerate for 15 minutes.Meanwhile, combine chicken broth, hoisin, brown sugar, remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce, and remaining 1/4 cup sherry in a small bowl.Set aside.

Cook noodles in a large pot of boiling, salted water for 5 to 6 minutes, or until just tender or as label directs. Drain and refresh under cold water.

Heat 1 teaspoon oil, add pork and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Remove the
pork from the pan and set aside. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil,
garlic, ginger, and red-pepper flakes. Stir-fry for 45 seconds. Add
water, carrots, and scallions and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add
yellow pepper and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.

Add the reserved broth mixture and snow peas and cook, stirring, for 2
minutes. Return the pork and reserved noodles to the pan and toss to
coat with the sauce. Cook for 1 minute, or until heated through.

Serve fresh immediately.
