Chef John 2nd April 06 for dinner. A very nice stir fry for evening dinner featuring pork, noodles, Asian sauces, stir fry greens, spicy sausage. Mid week it will take 20 minutes. For guests it will take longer of course. Goes great with fresh cheese/greens/fruit/coffee to follow. Recommend delicate dry white or red wines.
