Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2/3 c TVP®
1/2 c Hot water
1 tb Chopped or grated ginger
Root
2 tb Soy sauce
1 To 2 Tbsp hot bean paste
1/2 ts Salt (optional)
3 1/2 oz Bean thread noodles
2 c Veggie broth or water (avoid
Broth that may have a sweet
Taste)

Pour the boiling water over the TVP® and let it sit for
10 minutes. Saute the gingerroot in a very small
anount of oil or other liquid. Add the soy sauce, bean
paste, salt and TVP®. Cook very very gently and stir
frequently as it burns easily. Cook about 5 minutes
and set aside.

Cook the bean threads in the broth until the broth has
been absorbed by the noodles. Add the noodles to the
TVP® mixture and stir until blended evenly...ie. all
the "ants" are distributed throughout. Enjoy!

Source: This is a dish that was a favorite at our
local Chineses eatery. I used to make it with ground
turkey (before I saw the light) and have found that
TVP® works just as well. It's hot and spicy...delicious
and just a little different.
