  Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.

  Combine sauce ingredients in a bowl; mix well and set aside.

  Cooking:

  Set wok in a ring stand and add oil to a depth of 1-1/2 to 2".
  Place over high heat until oil reaches about 375 F. Add half the
  bean thread noodles and deep-fry for about 5 seconds or until they
  puff and expand. Turn over and cook other side. Lift out and drain
  on paper towels. Cook remaining noodles. Place noodles on a serving
  platter, pressing down on noodles to flatten slightly; set aside.

  Remove all but 2 tb oil from wok. Add beef, 6 or 7 pieces at a
  time, and cook for about 1 to 1-1/2 minutes on each side or until
  done to your liking. As beef is cooked, transfr it to a bowl; set
  aside while cooking remaining beef. Return all beef to wok and
  place over medium heat. Pour sauce over beef and cook, stirring to
  coat well, for 2 minutes.

  Spoon beef over noodles and srinkle with green onion. Serve hot.

  Tips: Adjust the amount of Tabasco sauce to taste. For a spicier
  flavor, substitute sweet bean sauce for hoisin sauce.
