Szechuan Noodles

Another Asian delicious dish.  This was just wonderful and, to my liking, on the spicy side.  If you want less heat, add fewer pepper flakes, or leave them out altogether.  No matter what you decide, this is a dish worth trying.  It is simply delicious.  Enjoy!

Ingredients:
-2 Tbs sesame seed oil
-4 cloves garlic, minced
-1/2 tsp ground ginger
-1/2 to 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (adjust according to your taste buds)
-1 lb flank steak, cut into strips
-2 Tbs cornstarch
-3/4 cup beef broth
-1/2 cup hoisin sauce
-2 Tbs soy sauce
-8 oz vermicelli pasta
-about 4 green onions, sliced for topping
-Directions:
Cook the pasta according to package directions.  Drain and set aside.
While pasta is cooking, heat oil in large skillet.  Add pepper flakes, garlic and ginger.  Stir fry for 10 seconds.  Add the steak strips and stir fry for about 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine beef broth and cornstarch until smooth.  Add to the skillet.  Also add hoisin sauce and soy sauce.  Bring to a boil, stirring constantly for about 1 minute, or until mixture is thick and bubbly.
Toss the steak and sauce mixture with the cooked hot noodles.  Sprinkle with the green onions.  Enjoy!
