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. Drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Cook the salmon
Meanwhile, pat the salmon dry with paper towel; season with ½ the spices and S&P. In a large pan (non-stick if possible), heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the salmon* and cook, 2 to 3 min. per side, until browned and cooked as desired. Transfer to a plate and reserve the pan.
Sauté the bok choy
Remove the root ends of the bok choy; thinly slice crosswise. In the reserved pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium. Add the garlic and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the bok choy and sauté, 2 to 3 min., until tender; season with all but a pinch of the remaining spices.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, remove the stem ends of the string peas; thinly slice each pod crosswise on an angle.
Combine the noodles
To the pan of bok choy, add the noodles, orange sauce, sesame oil and 2 tbsp water (double for 4 portions). Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 min., until combined and heated through.
Dress the string peas & serve
In a small bowl, combine the string peas, remaining spices, a drizzle of oil and S&P. Divide the noodles between your bowls. Top with the salmon and string peas. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking fish to a minimum internal temperature of 70°C.
