Ingredients - Preparation Method:

2/3 c TVP® 1/2 c Hot water 1 tb Chopped or grated ginger Root 2 tb Soy sauce 1 To 2 Tbsp hot bean paste 1/2 ts Salt (optional) 3 1/2 oz Bean thread noodles 2 c Veggie broth or water (avoid Broth that may have a sweet Taste) Pour the boiling water over the TVP® and let it sit for 10 minutes. Saute the gingerroot in a very small anount of oil or other liquid. Add the soy sauce, bean paste, salt and TVP®. Cook very very gently and stir frequently as it burns easily. Cook about 5 minutes and set aside. Cook the bean threads in the broth until the broth has been absorbed by the noodles. Add the noodles to the TVP® mixture and stir until blended evenly...ie. all the "ants" are distributed throughout. Enjoy! Source: This is a dish that was a favorite at our local Chineses eatery. I used to make it with ground turkey (before I saw the light) and have found that TVP® works just as well. It's hot and spicy...delicious and just a little different.
