  1       t            Soy sauce

                       Pepper (to taste)
    1/2   ts           Cornstarch
  1       t            Water

 Noodles:

    Cook the noodles (you can use any kind you like) in
 boiling salted water for about 3 minutes.  Drain and
 set aside.

 Topping:

    Heat a little oil in a non-stick saute pan, and put
 a little handful of the warm noodles into the bottom
 of it flattening the noodles down into a "pancake."
 (The more noodles the bigger the pancake so make the
 pancakes to the size the befits the appetite of the
 gourmets in your family.)

    While the pancake is cooking over low heat,
 julienne the vegetables and slice the pork.

    In second saute pan, put in a teaspoon of peanut
 oil and stir fry the pork for a minute over high heat.

    Add the julienned vegetables to the pork and stir
 fry for another minute or two.

    Add the bean paste, the salt, pepper, sugar and
 broth and stir.

    Dissolve the cornstarch in a little cold water and
 add to the stir fry cooking now to thicken and heat
 thoroughly throughout.

 To Assemble:

    When the noodle pancake is done and the stir fry is
 ready, turn out the "pancake" onto a serving plate and
 slide the stir fried pork and vegetables half on and
 half off the the noodles.

    Garnish with a sprig of parsley, or a twist of
 orange, or a radish rose and serve.
