Ants Climbing A Tree

INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Remove the outer wrapper from the noodles, but leave the rubber hands
or string binding them intact. Soak in warm or hot tap water, until
rubber-band fits firmly. Once pliable, cut through the loop ends of
the skin with scissors to cut the noodles into manageable lengths,
then cut and discard the rubber bands or strings. Do not oversoak the
noodles. Drain well. The noodles may be refrigerated covered with  cool
water or sealed airtight against drying overnight. Blend the  soy,
wine, and cornstarch until smooth, in the work bowl of a food
processor fitted with the steel knife. Distribute the pork around the
blade, then process with several on-off turns to blend.  Alternatively,
stir the marinade ingredients until smooth, then  combine with the pork
by hand, stirring in one direction until  blended. Seal airtight and
refrigerate until use, overnight if  desired. Bring to room temperature
before stir-frying. Put the  ginger, scallion, and chili sauce on a
plate. Combine the stock and  soy, taste and add salt if required.
Arrange all the ingredients  within easy reach of your stovetop, and
put a serving platter of  contrasting color in a low oven to warm. Heat
a wok or a large, heavy  skillet over high heat until hot enough to
evaporate a bead of water  on contact. Add the vegetable oil, and swirl
to glaze the pan. When  the oil is hot enough to sizzle one bit of
ginger, add the scallion,  ginger, and chili sauce, and stir until
fragrant, about 10 seconds,  adjusting the heat so the mixture foams
without browning. Add the  pork and stir briskly, tossing and chopping
the meat to break it into  tiny bits. Adjust the heat to maintain a
merry sizzle, and dribble in  a bit more oil from the side of the pan
if the meat is sticking. When  the pork is gray, add the stock mixture
and bring the liquids to a  simmer, stirring. Add the noodles, stir
gently to coat, then add the  carrots and stir to combine. Adjust the
heat to maintain a gentle  simmer and cover the pan. Simmer until most
of the liquid is  evaporated, about 2 to 4 minutes, then remove the
cover and turn off  the heat. Stir in the contents of the pan once or
twice, sprinkle  with sesame oil, and stir to combine. Remove the
mixture to the  heated platter and serve at once, while the noodles are
steaming,  slippery, and fragrant. This recipe yields 2 to 3 servings.
