Preparation
Boil the noodles
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the noodles; stir gently to separate.
- Boil, 6 to 8 min., until al dente.
- Drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Mise en place
- Meanwhile, thinly slice the scallions crosswise, separating the white bottoms and green tops.
- Halve, core and thinly slice the sweet peppers lengthwise.
- Remove the stem ends of the string peas.
Sauté the vegetables
- In a large, high-sided pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the sweet peppers and white bottoms of the scallions. Sauté, 2 to 3 min., until beginning to soften.
- Add the string peas, cabbage and spices. Sauté, 3 to 4 min., until crisp-tender.
Combine the noodles
- To the pan, add the noodles, ponzu, BBQ sauce (add ½ for a milder flavour), 2 tbsp water and S&P.
- Cook, stirring often, 2 to 3 min., until coated and combined.
Plate your dish
- Divide the noodles between your bowls.
- Garnish with the green tops of the scallions. Bon appétit!
