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 into thirds.
Toast the peanuts
In a medium pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium. Add the peanuts and toast, stirring frequently, 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 frequently, 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!
