As threatened, here is the noodle dish, to accompany the Asian Garlic
chicken dish...dont know what to call it, tempted to call it Doug's
noodle, but some wag on this list, would certainly jump in on that one!Gareth???)
3/4 lb Shanghai noodles, or spagetti, soaked in hot water, and drained
1/2 lb fresh green beans, sliced about 3" lengths
1/2 white onion, cut into shreds
1 tbls Chinese black beans, rinsed
1 tbls Oyster sauce
1/4 cup chicken stock
little cornstarch, in little water, 1 to 1
Peanut oil for stir frying
Cover the green beans with boiling water, sprinkle in a little salt and
let this sit...this will render the green beans, crisp, but not cooked
Mix the stock, black beans, smashed, and oyter sauce together and
retain..get the wok very hot, add a little peanut oil, and add the onion
shreds, the drained green beans, and stir fry this for about 1 minute,
stir frying all the time, then add the stock mixture, let this reduce a
little, and add the noodles....for color, and flavor, I also added about
a quarter of a red bell pepper, cut about the same size as the green
beans....continue cooking this for about another minute, add salt or soy
sauce, to taste, add a few drops of sesame oil, garnish with chopped
scallion, and serve, with the aforementioned chicken dish...Limpy said
it was tremendous, and I must trust her superior judgment! Cheers, Doug
