Preparation
Mise en place
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil.
- Thinly slice the string peas crosswise on an angle.
- Remove the bottom of the mushrooms; separate the mushrooms.
Boil the noodles
- Add the noodles to the pot of boiling water; stir gently to separate.
- Boil, 2 to 4 min., until al dente.
- Reserving ¼ cup cooking water (double for 4 portions), drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Sauté the vegetables
- Meanwhile, in a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the mushrooms and sauté, 2 to 3 min., until beginning to brown.
- Add the ginger, garlic, cabbage, string peas, spices and pepper.
- Sauté, 3 to 4 min., until tender.
Cook the edamame
- In a medium bowl, microwave the edamame, 2 to 3 min., until heated through; season with pepper.
Combine the noodles
- To the pan, add the noodles, hoisin, vinegar (start with ½) and ½ the reserved cooking water.
- Cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until combined.
- 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.
- Top with the edamame. Bon appétit!
