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.
Mise en place
- Meanwhile, halve, core and thinly slice the sweet pepper lengthwise.
- Halve the tindoras lengthwise; thinly slice crosswise.
Cook the shrimp & edamame
- Pat the shrimp dry (remove the shells from the tails if desired); season with ⅔ of the spices and S&P.
- In a large pan (non-stick if possible), heat a drizzle of oil on medium.
- Add the shrimp*, edamame and ⅔ of the garlic. Cook, 1 to 2 min. per side, until opaque and cooked through.
Make the noodle salad
- In a large bowl, combine the sweet pepper, tindoras, noodles, wafu sauce, remaining garlic and spices, and S&P.
Plate your dish
- Divide the noodle salad between your bowls.
- Top with the shrimp and edamame.
- Garnish with the sesame seeds. Bon appétit!
