Preparation

Step 1

Stir the pickled vegetables, stock, soy sauce and sesame oil together in a small bowl.

For the Dish: Pour enough warm water over the bean thread noodles in a medium bowl to cover them completely. Soak until softened, about 10 minutes. Drain. Lay the noodles out on a cutting board and cut into 4-inch lengths.

While the noodles are soaking, pour enough warm water over the wood ears in a small bowl to cover them completely. Soak until softened, about 20 minutes. Drain and cut into thin strips.

Heat a wok over high heat until hot. Add the vegetable oil and swirl to coat the sides. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Add the green onions, soy bean sprouts, wood ears and carrot and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the seasoning ingredients and bring to boil. Stir in the noodles. Cook stirring for another minute or until carrot is tender-crisp. Scoop onto a serving plate and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
