Preparation
Mise en place
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil.
- Remove the bottom inch of the gai lan stems; roughly chop the leaves and stems.
- Cut the string peas crosswise into thirds.
Toast the peanuts
- In a medium pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium.
- Add the peanuts and toast, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until lightly browned and fragrant.
- Transfer to a bowl. Wipe out and reserve the pan.
Blister the edamame & string peas
- In the same pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the edamame, string peas and 1 tbsp water (double for 4 portions).
- Cook, partially covered, 2 to 4 min., until softened and beginning to blister; season with ⅓ of the spices and S&P.
Boil the noodles & gai lan
- Meanwhile, add the noodles and gai lan to the pot of boiling water; stir gently to separate.
- Boil, 1 to 3 min., until al dente.
Reserving 1 cup cooking water (double for 4 portions), drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.- Reserve the pot.
Make the sauce & combine the noodles
- In the same pot, heat a generous drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the onions and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant and warmed through.
- Add the vinegar and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until slightly evaporated.
- Add the soy sauce, ⅓ of the reserved cooking water and the remaining spices. Cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until slightly thickened.
- Add the noodles, gai lan, edamame and string peas; toss well.
- If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the remaining cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency.
Plate your dish
- Divide the noodles between your bowls.
- Garnish with the peanuts. Bon appétit!
