Head, or what? When I was a young child, there was one
particular restaurant, Beijing Lo, whose food always gave
me an incredible headache: since then I've had a couple
monster hangovers, and these were at least the equal of
the worst of all these. My father tried to convince me
that I'd just eaten too much, but he was wrong.

I guess I stopped being hypersensitive to it between 30
and 40, so there's hope for you yet; still, the
occasional but very muted MSG headache happens to me.

      Title: Pan-Fried Noodle Pillow with Stir-Fried Chinese Greens
 Categories: Vegetables, Oriental, Pasta
      Yield: 4 Servings

    1/2 lb Chinese egg noodles; 1/16
           -inch thick
      2 ts Sesame oil
      1 ts Kosher salt
      6 tb Corn oil            -=OR=-
      6 tb Peanut oil
           Black sesame seeds - garnish

MMMMM---------------------STIR-FRIED GREENS--------------------------
      1 tb Chinese chives
    1/8 c  Baby garlic; fine sliced
      6 md Mushrooms; dried, black
  1 1/2 c  Chanterelle mushrooms;
           -sliced
  1 1/2 ts Scallion; finely sliced into
           -rings
      3 c  Baby Bok choy; sliced with
           -flower-like bases intact
      2 c  Chinese cabbage; sliced
      4 sm Chilies, red
      4 sm Chilies, orange
      3 tb Peanut oil          -=OR=-
      3 tb Corn oil

  Boil noodles in unsalted water until "al dente." Drain, flush with
  cold water until chilled, then roll loosely in a lint-free towel to
  blot off excess water.

  Toss noodles with sesame oil and salt, using your hands to coat and
  separate the strands.

  Heat a 12-inch well-seasoned or Silverstone heavy skillet over high
  heat until hot enough to evaporate a bead of water on contact. Add 5
  tablespoons of oil, swirl to coat the bottom and sides of the pan,
  then reduce heat to medium-high.

  When oil is hot enough to sizzle a single noodle, coil the noodles in
  a pan then use a spatula to pack them into an even pancake or
  "pillow." Cover and cook until the bottom is golden, about 5-7
  minutes.

  Uncover, flip the noodle pillow over with a jerk of your wrist, then
  cover and cook the second side.  If the pan seems dry, dribble in the
  remaining tablespoon of oil around the side of the skillet before
  covering it.

  Slide the noodle pillow out of the pan, cut it into quarters, then
  garnish with a sprinkling of black sesame seeds and vegetables.

  Stir-Fried Greens:

  Soak the dried mushrooms for several hours or overnight in cold water.

  Drain, rinse, remove any stems, then cut caps into slivers 1/8-inch
  wide.

  Heat a wok or a large heavy skillet over high heat until hot enough to
  evaporate a bead of water on contact.  Add 2 tablespoons of oil,
  swirl to glaze the pan, then reduce heat to medium-high.

  Add the Chinese chive tops, garlic and black mushrooms, toss until
  fully fragrant, then add chanterelles, sliced scallions, and cabbage
  to the pan. Toss just until vegetables turn supple, about 2 minutes.

  Add baby bok choy, toss until color deepens and the vegetables are
  heated through, about 20 seconds.  If the pan becomes too dry,
  dribble in a bit more oil from the side.

  Fold in the chilies, then turn contents out onto a serving plate,
  either alongside or on top of the noodle pillow.

  Caution: Chilies are added for color and are not meant to be eaten
  whole!

  (UDD says: "Yeah, Right! If you're a wuss follow the direction below
  otherwise, munch the chilies.)

  If a spicier dish is desired, finely sliver a single chile and
  stir-fry it with the shallots before stir-frying the remaining
  vegetables.
