--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2      cups          chicken broth
   2      tablespoons   soy sauce
   1 1/2  tablespoons   rice wine
   1      teaspoon      sugar
   1      teaspoon      sesame oil
   1      teaspoon      vegetable oil
   3      tablespoons   scallions -- minced
   1 1/2  tablespoons   ginger root -- minced
   1      tablespoon    garlic -- minced
   1      teaspoon      hot chili paste
   4      ounces        cellophane noodles

Soak the cellophane noodles in hot water (hot tap water is ok) for 20 
minutes to soften.  Drain and set aside.

Combine the first 5 ingredients to make the sauce.  Set aside.

Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat.  Add
the scallions, ginger, garlic, and chili paste.  Stir and fry for
about 10 seconds, until fragrant.  Add the sauce mixture and the
cellophane noodles.  Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low.
Simmer until almost all of the liquid has evaporated.  Serve
mmediately, sprinkled with the minced scallion greens.
