Glass Noodles With Crab

2 packages (2 ounces each) thin glass (mung bean thread) noodles
2 tablespoons neutral oil, like corn or canola
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/4 cup trimmed and minced scallions
1 cup crab meat, free of shell
1 1/2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
Fresh cilantro for garnish

1. Cover noodles in warm water for about 10 minutes. Drain.

2. Put oil in a wok or large skillet, and turn heat to high. A minute later, add garlic and
half the scallions and, almost immediately, the noodles and crab. Toss, and stir to mix
the ingredients.

3. Add the sauces, taste, and adjust seasoning as necessary. Toss with sesame oil and
remaining scallions. Garnish, and serve. Yield: 2 large or 4 small servings.
