      1 x  SAUCE:                              6 ea Green onions, cut into 2"
    1/3 c  Chicken broth                            Lengths
      2 tb Hoisin sauce                        2 ts Cornstarch dissolved in
      1 tb Dark soy sauce                           1 tbsp. cold water
      1 ts Chinese chile sauce

  Heat oil over high heat to 375 degrees. Add half the bean threads and
  deep=fry until they puff and expand, about 5 seconds.  Turn them over to
  cook the other side.  Lift them out and drain on paper towels.  Repeat
  with the remaining bean threads.  Allow the oil to cool, when cool, remove
  it from the wok and wipe the wok dry with a paper towel.

  Combine the marinade ingredients in a medium bowl.  Add the beef and stir
  to coat.  Let stand for 30 minutes.  Combine the sauce ingredients in a
  small bowl.

  Heat a wok or wide frying pan over medium-high heat until hot.  Add the
  cooking oil, garlic and chiles and stir-fry for 30 seconds.  Increase the
  heat to high.  Add the beef, stir-fry until barely pink, about 2 minutes.
  Remove the beef.

  Add the bell pepper and green onions and stir-fry for 1 minute.  Return
  the beef to the wok and add the sauce.  Cook for 1 minute, add the
  cornstarch solution and cook, stirring, until the sauce boils and
  thickens.

  Transfer to a serving plate.  garnish the edges of the serving plate with
  the fried bean thread noodles.

  Note:  To break the bean threads, place the unwrapped bunch in a clean
  large paper bag or a large bowl.  With your hands inside the bag or bowl,
  pull the bunch apart, or cut it with kitchen shears into smaller bunches.
  The bag or bowl will keep the bean threads from flying all over the place.
