Preparation
Boil the noodles
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the noodles; stir gently to separate.
- Boil, 1 to 3 min., until al dente.
- Reserving ½ cup cooking water (double for 4 portions), drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Mise en place
- Meanwhile, remove the root ends of the bok choy; roughly chop.
- Thinly slice the scallion crosswise, separating the white bottom and green top.
Sauté the vegetables
- In a large pan, heat a generous drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the white bottom of the scallion and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant.
- Add the mushrooms and sauté, 3 to 4 min., until beginning to brown.
- Add the bok choy and sauté, 2 to 3 min., until wilted; season with ½ the spices.
Make the sauce
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk the peanut butter, vinegar (start with ½), ponzu, garlic, remaining spices and ½ the reserved cooking water.
Combine the noodles
- To the pan, add the noodles and sauce.
- Cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until reduced and combined; season with S&P.
- 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 green top of the scallion. Bon appétit!
