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.
Cook the shrimp
- Meanwhile, pat the shrimp dry (remove the shells from the tails if desired); season with ½ the spices and S&P.
- In a large pan (non-stick if possible), heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the shrimp* and cook, 1 to 2 min. per side, until opaque and cooked through.
- Transfer to a plate and reserve the pan.
Sauté the bok choy
- Remove the root ends of the bok choy; thinly slice crosswise.
- In the reserved pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium.
- Add the garlic and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant.
- Add the bok choy and sauté, 2 to 3 min., until tender; season with all but a pinch of the remaining spices.
Mise en place
- Meanwhile, remove the stem ends of the string peas; thinly slice each pod crosswise on an angle.
Combine the noodles
- To the pan, add the shrimp, noodles, orange sauce, sesame oil and 2 tbsp water (double for 4 portions).
- Cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until combined and heated through.
Dress the string peas & serve
- In a small bowl, combine the string peas, remaining spices, a drizzle of oil and S&P.
- Divide the noodles between your bowls.
- Top with the string peas. Bon appétit!
