  Soak dried mushrooms. Slice roast pork, celery, cabbage and bamboo
  shoots. Blanch bean sprouts. Stem snow peas. Shred ginger root and
  crush garlic. Heat oil. Add ginger root and garlic; stir fry to brown
  lightly. Add pork and stir fry a few times. Then add in sherry to
  blend. Add all vegetables except snow peas and stir fry 1 minute
  more. Add stock and heat quickly. Then cook,covered, 3 minutes over
  medium heat. Stir in snow peas. Combine mixture with tossed noodles
  (*See below)
  Variations: Substitute cooked beef,ham, chicken, duck, crabmeat,
  lobster or shrimp. You can also add shredded green onion to the
  garlic/ginger mixture.
  I use Shaoxing wine instead of sherry, which is more authentic.
  *To cook noodles, prepare boiling water with a little salt. Add
  noodles and cook until barely done. Drain and rinse with cold water
  to stop cooking. Separate noodles with a fork, then toss them with a
  little sesame oil or peanut oil and set aside until they are ready to
  go into your stir-fry for the final heat. You will want about a pound
  of noodles for the above recipe.
