   dollar-size pieces; blanch in boiling vinegar water
   for 15 seconds, drain. Wash Chinese parsley; remove
   stems.
   
   Cook Soup:  Combine stock & ginger root in sauce pan;
   bring to just under boil.  Remove ginger slice.  Add
   noodles, sugar & cornstarch paste; stir. Add fish &
   cucumber.  Cook at high simmer until fish is done: 3-5
