Ingredients

1. 5 tablespoons vegetable oil
2. 1 pound fresh plain chicken sausages, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3. 4 garlic cloves, minced
4. 2 tablespoons minced ginger
5. 4 ounces snow peas, cut in half
6. 2 fresh, hot long red chiles, seeded and thinly sliced
7. 1/3 cup fresh orange juice
8. 1/2 pound fresh or dried Chinese egg noodles, cooked
9. 1 cup chicken stock mixed with 3 tablespoons of hoisin sauce and 2 teaspoons of cornstarch
10. Salt
11. 1/2 cup slivered basil leaves

1. In a wok, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil. Add the chicken sausage and stir-fry over high heat, breaking it up, until just cooked through, 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
2. Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil in the wok. Add the garlic and ginger and stir-fry over moderately high heat until golden, 1 1/2 minutes. Off the heat, stir in the snow peas and chiles for 1 minute. Add the orange juice and stir over moderately high heat for 30 seconds. Add the sausage, noodles and stock mixture, season with salt and stir-fry until the sauce is thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the basil and serve.
