Soy Jam Noodles Preparation

1. Slice radishes. Peel and shred cucumber; then soak briefly in ice water. Shred scallions and celery. Blanch bean sprouts. Trim tough stems from Chinese parsley. Place each vegetable in a separate serving dish. 2. Prepare egg threads (see How-to Section ). Place in another serving dish. 3. Parboil noodles as in Parboiled Noodles #1/#2 and keep warm. 4. Mince or grind pork, together with ginger root and remaining scallions. 5. Mix soy jam and water in a bowl. 6. Heat oil. Add pork mixture and stir-fry until pork loses its pinkness (1 to 2 minutes). 7. Stir in diluted soy jam and cook, covered, 10 minutes over medium heat, stirring frequently. 8. Transfer noodles to individual bowls. Place the meat sauce mixture in a serving bowl at the center of the table, with the dishes of vegetables and egg threads nearby. (To eat: the diner spoons 1 or 2 tablespoons of the meat sauce over his noodles, then takes a little of each vegetable and the egg threads and mixes them all together.) NOTE: This is the family-style way of serving noodles. (Sometimes the noodles are soft-fried first.) Various dishes of diced cooked meat and seafood, diced hardboiled eggs and crushed walnuts or almonds can also be served with the noodles. When they are, a meatless sauce is generally used. (See Chicken Stock Sauce for Noodles .) VARIATIONS: 1. For the soy jam, substitute 8 tablespoons yellow bean paste and 4 tablespoons soy sauce, and mix with the water. Simmer 15 minutes in step 7; then stir in 1 teaspoon sugar. 2. For the soy jam, substitute 1 cup hoisin sauce. Add in step 7 and stir in to heat. Then gradually add the water and cook 10 minutes as above. 3. In step 6, before stir-frying pork, add to the hot oil 1 garlic clove, crushed, and/or a few drops of sesame oil. 4. For the individual vegetables, substitute the following, tossed together and blended: 2 cups celery, shredded and blanched; 1 cucumber, peeled and shredded; 1 tablespoon peanut oil; 1 tablespoon light soy sauce; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1/2 teaspoon sugar; 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil and a dash of pepper.
