Ingredients
  

  • 4 ounces soba noodles (100% buckwheat soba if gluten free. If not I prefer this kind.)
  • 1 cup snow peas (trim & peel the string off the side)
  • 1 cup edamame (frozen is ok, thaw before using)
  • ¼ cup chopped scallions
  • olive oil, for the pan
  • extra orange & lime wedges to squeeze in at the end
  • a few teaspoons sesame seeds, for garnish

sauce

  • ½ orange juice from approximately ½ of an orange (about ¼ cup)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon tamari (or soy sauce)
  • ½ teaspoon sriracha (more if you like it spicier)
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger

Instructions
 

  • Whisk sauce ingredients together.
  • Cook noodles in boiling salted water for 8-10 minutes.
  • While the noodles are cooking, heat a large skillet with just a bit of olive oil.
  • Once the pan is hot, (the first snow pea should sizzle when it hits), add snow peas and a pinch of salt, stir fry for few minutes, until tender and they get a slight char on both sides.
  • Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Turn off the heat and let the pan cool down for a few minutes.
  • While the (same) pan is off but still a little hot, (stand back, it might smoke a little) and pour in the sauce.
  • Let it bubble just a little bit.
  • Stir continuously as it thickens, about 2-3 minutes. (turn the heat back on to low if the pan has cooled too much).
  • The sauce should reduce and become slightly syrup-ey. Don't let it burn or reduce too much.
  • Add the noodles, snow peas and edamame to the pan.
  • Stir to mix everything together with the sauce.
  • Add a good squeeze of lime, and cook a few minutes more.
  • Taste & adjust. If necessary, add more soy sauce, another squeeze of orange or lime, perhaps more sriracha if you want more heat.
  • Top with a drizzle of toasted sesame oil, scallions & sesame seeds.
