1/4 cup soy sauce, divided
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon cornstarch, divided
1 1/2 tablespoons dry sherry

2 teaspoons dark sesame oil
2 ounces cellophane noodles, uncooked
1 clove garlic, crushed
4 dried red chile pepper pods

Add noodles, a small amount at a time, and stir-fry 2 to 3 seconds or until noodles expand and turn white. Remove and drain on paper towels. Transfer to a serving platter.
3. Remove steak from marinade. Discard marinade. Add steak and garlic to wok; stir-fry 5 minutes. Remove steak. Pour remaining 1 tablespoon oil around top of wok, coating sides. Add pepper pods; stir-fry 1 minute. Add carrot and celery; stir-fry 1 minute. Add vinegar mixture; cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute or until slightly thickened. Add steak; cook until thoroughly heated. Spoon over noodles; sprinkle with green onions.
