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.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 lb ground pork
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 1/2 tablespoons light soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine
1 teaspoon sesame oil
6 ounces bean thread vermicelli
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 scallions, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 tablespoon ginger, finely chopped
2 teaspoons chili bean sauce
3/4 cup chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon sugar
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.
  • Heat a wok over high heat, and add the vegetable oil. Cook the four chopped scallions, ginger, garlic, and chilli bean sauce for about 10 seconds.
  • Add the meat mixture and cook for two more minutes, making sure to stir to break up any lumps.
  • Stir in the stock, sugar, and the remaining soy sauce, rice wine, and sesame oil.
  • Add the noodles to the wok and toss to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simme for 7-8 minutes (or until the liquid is almost completely absorbed).
  • Garnish with the remaining scallions and serve.
