Ants Climbing A Tree

• SAUCE
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon dry vermouth, sherry or 1 tablespoon white wine
• STIR-FRY
• 1 1/2 tablespoons peanut oil
• 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
• 1 green onion, minced
• 3 jalapenos or 3 serrano chilies, stems removed, minced
• 1/4 lb pork, ground (do not use sausage) or 1/4 lb pork, diced (do not use sausage)
• 1/4 cup finely diced carrot
• 1/4 cup shiitake mushroom, soaked and minced (or other dried mushrooms)
• 2 tablespoons szechuan hot bean sauce
• 2 (2 ounce) packages bean threads, soaked in hot water for 15 minutes, drained and cut into pieces about 2 inches length

1. Mix together all the sauce ingredients.
2. In a pre-heated wok over high heat, add the peanut oil. When the oil just begins to smoke, add the ginger, green onion, chiles, pork, carrot, and the mushroom, and stir-fry until the pork is well-browned.
3. Add the bean sauce and stir-fry for about 15 seconds or until combined thoroughly with the other ingredients.
4. Add the bean threads and sauce. Cook over medium high heat until the sauce is thickened and the bean threads just begin to stick to the wok.
