"Playwrights are like men who have been dining for a month in an Indian restaurant. After eating curry night after night, they deny the existence of asparagus."
Peter Ustinov

Asian recipes have draw on thousands of years of experience to produce a rich variety of spicy and healthy recipes.

"The dishes of the present day are very light, and they have a particular delicacy and perfume. The secret has been discovered of enabling us to eat more and to eat better, as also to digest more rapidly....The new cookery is conductive to health, to good temper, and to long life....Who could enumerate all the dishes of the new cuisine? It is an absolutely new idiom. I have tasted viands prepared in so many ways and fashioned with such art that I could not imagine what they were."
Louis Sebastien Mercier

1/2 tsp msg

Preparation

TO PREPARE THE MEAT SAUCE: Heat about 3 T oil in wok, brown the
ginger and green onion, then add meat and brown together.

Mix together the bean (or hoisin) and soy sauces, add this mixture to
the meat, and stir fry briefly. Then add rice wine, sugar, MSG and
sesame oil. Add the chicken broth and simmer for about 3 minutes,
until the sauce becomes thick and shiny. Put mixture in a serving
bowl and set aside.

(GARNISHES)

: o Boil bean sprouts for 1 minute, drain, and put in serving bowl.
: o Warm peas and put in a serving bowl.
: o Cut cucumber into very fine strips, or grate. Place in serving
bowl. : o Scramble eggs, fry into very thin pancakes, and cut into
thin strips.

TO SERVE: Cook noodles in boiling water for 3 minutes; drain. If you
are preparing this dish ahead, rinse with cold water, drain, and add
about 1 T sesame seed oil and mix well.

Serve about 1 cup hot or cold noodles in a bowl, then add the
garnishes and meat sauce to taste.

NOTES:

* The original Chinese spaghetti -- This recipe is an interesting
variation from the usual restaurant chinese food. When I learned this
dish, I realized that this was the origin of the Italian pasta
dishes. It still serves as a reminder that there is a huge variety of
Northern Chinese dishes that use wheat-based starches instead of
rice. Yield: serves 6-8.

* This dish can be prepared a day ahead and served cold. The
selection of vegetables in the garnish is pretty arbitrary. All kinds
of vegetable combinations are good. The only rule is that they should
all be cut into thin strips.

: Difficulty: easy to moderate.
: Time: 1-2 hours (lots of preparation, little cooking).
: Precision: Measure the sauce ingredients.
