Spicy Noodles and Ham

Recipe from a wok cookbook, serves 6

Makes great noodles with interesting spicy taste. Ok, we took some liberties due to a shortage of some ingredients, but the result is delicious! Our modifications are listed below.

Ingredients:

• 1.5 quarts of dihydrogen monoxide (common name water)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 pound Chinese egg noodles (we substituted oriental sweet potato noodles)
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 3 Tablespoons soy sauce
• 1.5 Tablespoons vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (we substituted hot pepper flakes)
• 3 Tablespoons chopped green onion
• 1/2 cup chicken stock
• 1 cup shredded cooked ham (we substituted chicken with Carol's secret egg marinade)

Directions:

Bring water and salt to boil in wok at 250 degrees. Add noodles; boil 2 minutes stirring constantly. Drain; rinse under cold running water to stop cooking. Drain; pour into bowl (we poured it back into the wok); stir in sesame oil. Mix next 6 ingredients; pout over noodles; toss to combine. Add ham; toss. Serve cold or at room temperature (we served it hot).
