Step 1

Add the ground meat to a bowl, and add 2 teaspoons Shaoxing wine, 1/4 teaspoon dark soy sauce, 1 tablespoon light soy sauce and 2 tablespoon water. Mix until the meat has absorbed all the marinade liquid. Set aside in the refrigerator.

Step 2

If using dried rice noodles, soak them in warm water for 1 hour (or follow the instructions on the package). Then cook the soaked noodles in a pot of boiling water until just cooked through. The cooking time will vary based on the thickness of the noodles. Rinse the noodles in cold water to prevent them from sticking together and set aside.

Step 3

Pre-heat a wok or soup pot over medium high heat. Add 3 tablespoons oil, along with the ginger, garlic, and chilies. Cook for a minute until fragrant. Add the marinated meat, turn up the heat, and fry until it is cooked through.

Step 4

Add the stock, 2 teaspoons dark soy sauce, and 1/4 teaspoon sugar. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, add in the bean sprouts, pea tips, and garlic chives. Bring to a boil again, stir in the noodles, and salt to taste. Serve immediately with the pickled cabbage, cilantro, and scallions.
