   a hot wok or pot, then add the scallions and garlic and stir-fry
   quickly for a few seconds. Add the meat and stir-fry until it is
   cooked. (This should take between 5 and 10 minutes.) Then add all the
   sauce ingredients, except the sesame oil and cook the mixture over a
   gentle heat for about 5 minutes. Now add the drained noodles and
   sesame oil and cook the mixture for a further 5 minutes. Ladle some
   noodles and sauce into individual bowls or into one large serving
   bowl, and serve at once.
