MA YI SHANG SHU (SZECHUAN PORK WITH CELLOPHANE NOODLES)



Ma Yi Shang Shu (Szechuan Pork With Cellophane Noodles) image

Szechuan recipe, though not too spicy. It's ground pork with cellophane noodles and a fave of the little one, though I think she likes it more for its name than anything else. Translated, the name of the dish is "Ants Climbing Trees. :) Don't let the list of ingredients or number of steps fool you either. This is really easy to make.

1/2 lb ground pork
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 1/2 tablespoons light soy sauce

2 scallions, thinly sliced on the diagonal (green bit only, for garnish)

Steps:

  • Combine pork, cornstarch, 1 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoons rice wine, and 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil in a bowl. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Place noodles in a bowl, cover with boiling water, and soak for 3-5 minutes (check for softness), then drain well.
