TWICE COOKED NOODLES WITH HOISIN PORK

Steps:

• Rinse and drain cooked noodles; transfer to large bowl and mix in soy sauce and sesame oil. (May be prepared up to two hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.) Heat heavy large skillet over high heat; add five tablespoons peanut oil, and swirl pan to coat. Add noodles to skillet; using metal spatula, press noodles to 1-inch-thick pancake. Reduce heat to medium-high; cook until bottom of pancake is brown, about 15 minutes. Use tongs to lift pancake off pan. Add remaining two tablespoons peanut oil to skillet. Turn pancake over and slide back into skillet. Cook until brown on bottom, about six minutes. Using tongs, transfer noodle pancake to platter. Top with Stir-Fried Pork in Hoisin Sauce, garnish with julienned green onions. Divide in half and serve. For sauce, stir together first five ingredients until well blended. Stir pork (cut in 1 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/4-inch strips) and next six ingredients together until blended. Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons peanut oil in heavy large skillet. Add sauce and bring to simmer. Add pork; stir-fry three minutes. Add two tablespoons water and onions; stir-fry until pork is cooked through, adding more water by tablespoons to thin sauce if desired, about one minute.

TWICE-COOKED PORK

Steps:

• Place pork, 6 scallions, ginger and salt in large pot. Add water to cover. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until tender. Remove meat, and discard liquid. When pork has cooled, remove skin and any bones. Cut meat in half crosswise, then slice it thinly lengthwise.
• Slice remaining scallions lengthwise, then in 3-inch pieces.
• Heat oil in wok or skillet. When very hot, add pork and stir-fry until lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Pour off excess oil and fat. Add garlic and ginger, and stir-fry 10 seconds. Add scallions, and stir-fry 2 minutes. Add chili paste, rice wine, soy sauce, sugar and Sichuan pepper, and stir-fry another minute. Scatter with cilantro and serve.
