Preparation
Mise en place
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Remove the root ends of the bok choy; quarter lengthwise. Remove the bottom of the mushrooms; separate the mushrooms. Remove the stem ends of the string peas. Halve, peel and mince the shallot. Mince the garlic.
Start the vegetables
In a large, high-sided pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the mushrooms and sauté, 2 to 3 min., until beginning to brown. Add the shallot and garlic. Sauté, 2 to 3 min., until the mushrooms have browned; season with S&P.
Boil the noodles & cook the beef
Meanwhile, add the noodles to the pot of boiling water; stir gently to separate. Boil, 5 to 7 min., until al dente. Drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking. In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the beef*; season with S&P. Cook, breaking up the meat, 4 to 6 min., until cooked through.
Finish the vegetables
To the pan of mushrooms, add the bok choy, string peas, 2 tbsp water (double for 4 portions) and S&P. Sauté, partially covered, 3 to 4 min., until tender.
Combine the noodles
To the pan of vegetables, add the beef, noodles, ponzu and soy sauce. Cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until coated and combined.
Plate your dish
Divide the noodles between your bowls. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking ground beef to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
