Ingredients

* 1/2 pound dried or fresh egg noodles

* 2 ounces celery

* 2 ounces canned bamboo shoots

* 2 tablespoons peanut oil for stir-frying

* 1 garlic cloves, crushed

* 1 small onion, finely sliced

* 3 small button mushrooms, whole

* 1 1/2 pound 1 tablespoon light soy sauce

* 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce

* 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh ginger

* 3 tablespoons vegetable stock

* 1 tablespoon rice wine or dry sherry

* 1 teaspoon Sugar

* 1/4 pound bean sprouts

Recipe

1. If you are using fresh Noodles, blanch them first in a large pot of boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes. If you are using the dried noodles, cook in boiling water for 4 to 5 minutes. Drain the noodles, then put them into cold water until required.

2. String the celery and slice diagonally. Shred the bamboo shoots.

3. Heat a wok or large frying-pan and add the oil. When moderately hot, add the garlic and stir-fry for 10 seconds. Add the onion, mushrooms, celery, and bamboo shoots and stir-fry for about 5 minutes.

4. Drain the Noodles thoroughly and put into the wok. Continue to stir-fry for 1 minute then add the rest of the ingredients except the bean sprouts. Continue to stir-fry for another 2 minutes and then add the bean sprouts. Give the mixture a good stir and turn it onto a serving platter.

5. Garnish with fresh coriander sprigs.
