Saucy Garlic Pork Lo Mein
From Nina Simons Asian Noodles: Deliciously Simple Dishes to
Twirl, Slurp and Savor, Heart Books, NY, 1997.

Lo mein noodles don't have to be covered with a gloppy sauce. Eat
these stir-fried noodles as they were meant to be eaten-tossed in a
light velvety sauce and generously garnished with slices of garlicky
pork, smoky black mushrooms and pungent garlic chives. Don't
hesitate to substitute beef or chicken and add whatever vegetables
are in season.
Ingredients:
1 pound boneless center-cut pork loin, trimmed of fat or gristle
and cut into strips
Garlic Marinade (mix together)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons Chinese rice wine or sake
1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon sugar
3 1/2 tablespoons safflower or corn oil
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
10 dried Chinese black mushrooms, softened in hot water,
drained, stems removed and caps very thinly sliced
3 cups 1-inch lengths garlic chives or scallion greens
Lo Mein Sauce (mix together) 2 1/4 cups chicken broth
6 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons Chinese rice wine or sake
1 1/2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
3/4 pound flat noodles, such as fettuccine or linguine, cooked
until tender, rinsed under cold water and drained.
Preparation:
1.In a bowl, combine the pork with the garlic marinade, tossing
lightly to coat.
2.Heat a wok or heavy skillet over high heat. Add 2-1/2
tablespoons of the oil and heat until very hot but not smoking.
Add the pork and toss lightly until the strips lose their pink
color and separate. Remove with a handled strainer or a
slotted spoon and drain in a colander. Wipe out the wok.
3.Reheat the wok, add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and heat
until hot, about 20 seconds. Add the ginger, black
mushrooms, and garlic chives and stir-fry for about 1 minute.
Add the lo mein sauce and cook, stirring constantly to prevent
lumps, until thickened. Add the noodles and pork and toss
lightly. Transfer to a platter and serve immediately.
