Title: Ants On A Tree - Chinese Spicy Pork With Bean Threads
Yield: 1 Servings

Ingredients

    3/4 lb lean ground pork
      1 tb distilled white vinegar
      2 ts oriental sesame oil
      2 ts soy sauce
  3 1/2 oz bean threads; (up to 4)
      1 tb vegetable oil
      2    garlic cloves; minced
      1 tb peeled and minced gingerroot
    1/2 c  sliced scallions
      2 ts chili paste
  1 1/2 c  chicken stock
      3 tb scotch

Instructions

In a small bowl combine the pork lightly with 1 teaspoon of the vinegar, 1
teaspoon sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon soy sauce and let the mixture stand for
20 minutes. In a bowl let the bean threads soak in warm water to cover for
15 minutes, drain them, and cut them into 3-inch lengths.

Heat a wok or heavy skillet over high heat until it is hot, add the
vegetable oil, and heat until it is hot. Add the garlic and gingerroot and
stir-fry the mixture for 5 seconds. Add the pork mixture and stir-fry it,
breaking up the lumps, until it is no longer pink. Add the scallions and
the chili paste and stir-fry the mixture for 10 seconds. Add the bean
threads, combine the mixture well, and add the stock, the Scotch, remaining
2 teaspoons vinegar, remaining soy sauce, and salt and pepper to taste.
Bring the liquid to a boil, simmer the mixture, covered, for 5 minutes, and
drizzle it with the remaining 1 teaspoon sesame oil.

Yield: 4 servings
