Preparation
Boil the noodles & edamame
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the noodles and edamame; stir gently to separate.
- Boil, 3 to 4 min., until tender.
- Drain and rinse under cold water.
- Toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Cook the chicken & bok choy
- Meanwhile, remove the root ends of the bok choy; roughly chop.
- Pat the chicken dry; season with S&P.
- In a large pan, heat a generous drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the chicken and cook, turning occasionally, 3 to 4 min., until partially cooked.
- Add the bok choy and ginger-garlic purée. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 min., until crisp-tender and the chicken* is cooked through.
Make the sauce & combine the noodles
- In a small bowl, combine the ponzu, sesame oil, tahini, soy sauce and 2 tbsp water (double for 4 portions).
- To the pan, add the noodles, edamame and sauce.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 min., until combined and warmed through; season with S&P.
Plate your dish
- Divide the noodles between your plates.
- Garnish with the mild furikake. Bon appétit!
