1
Lay everything out on your board because like stirfry it goes FAST.
2
Put all the dried (or fresh substitutes: You'll want to use your own judgment here, just mix and match, or if you're using fresh, around 1/2 cup total.)
3
in a container for fast addition.
4
Put the splash of oil in the wok and crank up the heat.
5
Immediately add the ginger so it doesn't scorch, and then the chicken chunks.
6
Chow the chicken and ginger together until the chicken is no longer translucent.
7
Add the chicken base and water or the broth/stock.
8
Immediately add all the veggies and/or dried veggies.
9
If you're using dried noodles add now, or if fresh wait 3 minutes.
10
Add the fresh noodles and simmer for another 4 or 5 minutes.
11
Pour in a bowl and enjoy.
12
I learned to use the sticks in the early 50s in Korea while I was a voluntary guest of Uncle Sam.
13
Lately the crippled hands make it difficult.
14
I found a nifty gadget at my local sushi takeout place called a Fun Chop, it's a little flexible plastic bar thing that holds the sticks rather like an inverted print A.
15
it works!
