Preparation
Prepare the tilapia & cabbage
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. In a small bowl, combine the miso, soy sauce, mirin and 1 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions). On a lined sheet pan, toss the cabbage with a drizzle of oil, ½ the ginger and S&P. Pat the tilapia dry with paper towel; season with ½ the spices and S&P. Add to the pan and spread with ½ the miso mixture. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds.
Roast the tilapia & cabbage
Roast the tilapia* and cabbage, 5 min., until partially cooked. Remove from the oven, stir the cabbage and switch the oven to broil, 3 to 4 min., until browned and cooked as desired.
Boil the noodles
Meanwhile, add the noodles to the pot of boiling water; stir gently to separate. Boil, 1 to 3 min., until al dente. Reserving ¼ cup cooking water (double for 4 portions), drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking. Reserve the pot.
Sauté the string peas & combine the noodles
Thinly slice the string peas crosswise on an angle. In the reserved pot, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the string peas, and remaining ginger and spices. Sauté, 1 to 2 min., until softened. Add the noodles, remaining miso mixture and ½ the reserved cooking water. Cook, stirring frequently, 30 sec. to 1 min., until combined; season with S&P. If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the remaining cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency.
Finish & serve
To the pot of noodles, add the cabbage; stir well. Divide the noodles between your plates. Top with the tilapia. Bon appétit!
