Preparation
Boil the noodles
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the noodles; stir gently to separate.
- Boil, 5 to 7 min., until al dente.
- Reserving ½ cup cooking water (double for 4 portions), drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Mise en place

- Slice the celery crosswise on an angle.
- Chop the broccoli.
Sauté the vegetables
- In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the garlic and ginger. Sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant.
- Add the broccoli and celery. Sauté, 3 to 4 min., until beginning to brown.
- Add 2 tbsp water (double for 4 portions) and sauté, 2 to 3 min., until the water has evaporated and the vegetables are tender; season with S&P.
Make the sauce & combine the noodles
- To the pan, add the hoisin, sesame oil, ponzu and ½ the reserved cooking water.
- Cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until beginning to thicken.
- Add the noodles and nutritional yeast. Cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until coated and combined.
- 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. Bon appétit!
