Steps:
- In a wok or deep skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil, then add the par-cooked noodles. Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the noodles to crisp, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- In the same wok, heat the remaining tablespoon of cooking oil over medium-high heat and add the onion, bell pepper, broccoli, and carrot. Stir and cook for 2 minutes, then add the garlic and season with salt and pepper. Stir and continue to cook for 2 minutes, or until the onions are translucent.
- Add the cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, snow peas, and corn.
- In a small bowl, combine the water and cornstarch. Mix with a fork to dissolve the cornstarch, then add the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice wine, sugar, and white pepper. Mix well.
- Pour the sauce over the vegetables. Mix well and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the vegetables have softened.
- Add the crispy noodles to the wok, mix well and add bean sprouts. Toss gently and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until everything is well-combined. Garnish with sliced scallions.
- Enjoy!

CHOW FUN
This is from The Frugal Gourmet Cooks Three Ancient Cuisines, and it's absolutely delicious. The recipe calls for beef, but you can easily substitute sliced chicken breast, shrimp, a variety of vegetables, tofu, or even, as a treat, cooked, roast duck (I've had duck chow fun in Chinatown in New York, and it was great). Time is what it takes me approximately including slicing.

MODIFIED CHOW FUN RECIPE, VEGAN
Steps:
- Boil water, add noodles. Boil until the noodles are relatively soft. (This will take anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes, as rice noodles take longer to cook than wheat noodles) Mix bullion with 1 cup water and let it dissolve. Stir in soy sauce and sugar to bullion/water mixture. Add 1 teaspoon peanut oil to a pan and heat. Add noodles, then add ¼ cup peanut oil. Swirl to coat all noodles. Stir-fry noodles, tossing frequently, until soft (noodles will stick together). Add onions and snow peas. Stir-fry until snow peas are bright green, which takes about 1 minute. Add stock mixture and bring to a boil, continuing to stir. The noodles will stick together, so when you stir, be sure to separate them. When the mixture boils, continue stirring until noodles are tender Add sesame oil and pepper to taste, then remove from heat.
