  1      tablespoon    black bean paste**
  1      pinch         sugar

* Optional

**If possible, try to get the authentic kind sold in Chinese or
Korean markets.  These have the best flavor.  But if all you can get
a hold of is the supermarket variety, that's all right.  Or it can be
omitted altogether, if there is none to be had in your area.

Cook the noodles in boiling water until done.  Drain.

Marinade the meat in soy sauce, rice wine, and cornstarch for at
least 30 minutes.

In a measuring cup, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, black
bean paste, and sugar.  Set aside.

Heat a large wok on high.  When the wok is smoking add the oil.  Stir
fry the vegetables briefly, in batches if necessary, and transfer to
a bowl.

Reheat the wok and add more oil.  Add the marinated chicken and stir
fry until the meat is cooked.  Add the soy sauce mixture in step 3
and cook until boiling.

Add the noodles and vegetables to wok and toss well to coat.  Take
off the heat.

Note: It is important to have a good heat source to achieve good
results in chinese cooking.  I have found that ordinary kitchen
stoves leave something to be desired when the recipe calls for stir
frying over high heat.  If possible, use an outdoor cooking device,
such as propane gas stoves designed for outdoor cooking.  (use it
outdoors, of course!)
