 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
      1/4   c            Rice wine
    2       tb           Ginger root, grated fresh
    2                    Garlic cloves, minced
    1       c            Carrots, thinly sliced
    1       c            Broccoli stems, sliced thin
    1       c            Cabbage, sliced thin
    2                    Green onions
      1/4   c            Water
      1/2   ts           Sesame oil, dark
      1/2   ts           Cayenne pepper
    1       tb           Honey (omit if vegan)
    1       t            Hoisin sauce (optional)
    4       c            Rice noodles, cooked
                         Soy sauce to taste
 
   In a wok over medium-high heat, heat rice wine or mirin until bubbling. Add
   ginger, garlic, carrots and broccoli.  Stir-fry until carrots soften
   slightly, about five minutes.  Add cabbage and green onions; cover and cook
   three minutes.  With a slotted spoon, remove vegetables to a platter and
   set aside.
   Add water, sesame oil, up to 1 tsp. cayenne, honey and hoisin sauce, if
   desired, to wok and heat until bubbling.  Add noodles and stir-fry until
   heated through.  Add vegetables and heat through.  Add soy sauce to taste.
   Note: The sesame oil gives this dish a great flavor, but leave it out if
   you can't afford the few grams of fat it contributes.
