vegetables, mix the sauce, and then go to it. Heat
the wok and add the oil, salt, garlic, and ginger.
Chow for a moment and then add the vegetables. Chow
until hot and tender and then add the sauce, the
drained noodles, and the chicken stock to the wok.
Stir and simmer uncovered until the noodles are clear
and tender and have absorbed most of the broth. Taste
for salt and place in a serving bowl. Garnish with
green onions & serve.
