¼ -(up to)
½ pounds Lean pork
2 teaspoons Sherry
½ cup Scallions
½ cup Yellow bean paste
2 tablespoons Soy sauce
1 tablespoon Hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons Oil
1½ cup Water

3. Heat oil. Add minced pork; stir-fry 1 minute. Add minced scallions and stir-fry 1 minute more.

4. Stir in bean paste mixture. Add water and heat quickly. Then cook, stirring, 2 minutes over low heat.

5. Serve with cooked wheat-flour noodles either mixed together (use about ¼ cup meat sauce for every 1-½ cups cooked noodles); or serve the noodles in one dish, the sauce in another so that the diner can mix his own.

NOTE: This dish is always served accompanied by dishes containing such vegetables as shredded radishes and cucumbers, blanched beansprouts and spinach strips, as well as 4 or 5 minced garlic cloves. The diner tops his noodles and sauce at intervals with a bit of garlic and 1 to 2 tablespoons of vegetables.
