Instructions

Working time approx. 25 minutes; Total time approx. 25 minutes

Cook the noodles in plenty of salted water according to the package instructions until al dente. Meanwhile, heat the wok. Sear the meat in 2 tablespoons of hot oil, then remove from the pan. Sauté the leeks and Chinese cabbage in the remaining oil, deglaze with sherry and soy sauce. Allow the vegetables to wilt slightly. Meanwhile, stir together the ingredients for the garlic sauce and season to taste. Add the drained noodles and meat to the vegetables, and season again with sherry and soy sauce if desired. Serve the wok dish hot and serve with the garlic sauce. Note: We only call it that because we happened to cook it for the first time on New Year’s Eve (2003?).
