Instructions: Cook pasta in rapidly boiling water, stirring often, until al dente; drain.

Meanwhile, prepare sauce: Heat oil and sherry in a medium saucepan. Add garlic, mixed vegetables, peas, ginger and mushrooms if desired. Cook until vegetables are tender and liquid has reduced, 5-10 minutes. Remove from heat.

Stir in mirin, sesame oil, say sauce and cooked noodles. Heat through.

Serve hot.

NOTES : Not "authentic" but a quick, tasty, adaptable dinner.

Use jarred garlic and ginger to save time.
