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 minutes. Don't allow broth to boil; you want it to remain clear. Remove to covered serving bowl; garnish with parsley leaves; serve.
