Udon Noodles with Asparagus and Cashews





6 oz Whole wheat udon noodles or


-fettucine


1 ts Peanut oil


2 Cloves garlic; minced


1 1/2 tb Cashews; dry-roasted,


-chopped


6 oz Asparagus; steamed OR 12


-spears, ends snapped


2 oz Fresh pea pods; steamed


1 tb Dry sherry; mixed with


1 tb Tamari soy sauce; and


3/4 ts Cornstarch





Instructions:


PRE-STEAMING: The original recipe used raw vegetables in the stir fry and


added water to the wok until the vegetables were bright green. Instead of


'sweat-frying' the vegetables, steam them for 3 minutes with a piece of


fresh ginger the size of a small table grape. Shock the vegetables in ice


water, drain and towel dry





Bring a pot of water to the boil. Cook the noodles; they will take about 5


to 6 minutes.





Meanwhile, heat oil in wok over high heat. Fry the garlic until the oil is


aromatic (1 minute or less). Reduce heat. Add the cashews and stir briefly.


Add the steamed vegetables and stir fry to heat through. Clear a space in


the center of the wok. Pour in the cornstarch mixture. (see tip) The


alcohol will burn about as quickly as it takes to drain the noodles; shake


off some of the water but not all; add wet noodles to the wok; gently stir


to form sauce. Serve at once.
