Ingredients:

230g Dried or Fresh Egg Noodles
55g Celery
55g Canned Bamboo Shoots
2 tbsp Peanut Oil
3 Garlic Cloves, Crushed
1 Small Onion, Finely Sliced
230g Small Button Mushrooms, Whole
1 tbsp Light Soy Sauce
2 tbsp Dark Soy Sauce
2 tsp Fresh Ginger, Finely Chopped
3 tbsp Vegetable Stock
1 tbsp Rice Wine
1 tsp Sugar
115g Beansprouts

Preparation:

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.
String the celery and slice diagonally. Shred the bamboo shoots.
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.
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.
Garnish with fresh coriander sprigs.
