Ingredients

1 tablespoon peanut butter (to taste)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar or 2 tablespoons seasoned rice wine vinegar
1 -2 teaspoon fire oil (to taste)
1 pinch cayenne
1 pinch salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely minced
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/2 cup vegetable broth or 1/2 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 lb snow peas, strings and stem ends removed
1 bunch scallion, white and light green parts only
1/4 lb firm tofu, sliced (optional)
8 ounces soba noodles, cooked
4 large radishes, trimmed, cut in half, and thinly sliced
3 tablespoons cilantro, chopped

Steps:

Heat the peanut butter for 10 seconds in a microwave to make it easier to mix. Combine with the soy sauce, vinegar, hot red pepper oil, cayenne, half the garlic and ginger, salt and pepper. Whisk together. Whisk in the sesame oil and broth. Set aside.
Heat the canola or peanut oil in a wok or a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat, and add the snow peas. Stir-fry for one to two minutes, and add the scallions and remaining garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for 20 seconds, and add the tofu (if using). Stir-fry for one to two minutes, then stir in the noodles and sauce. Toss together until the noodles are hot, and remove from the heat. Add the radishes and cilantro, stir together, and serve.
Variation: Substitute thinly sliced cooked chicken breast for the tofu.
Advance preparation: You can cook the noodles up to three days ahead. Toss them with 1 teaspoon canola oil and refrigerate. The ingredients for the sauce can be combined several hours before you make the stir-fry.

SPICY WOK-CHARRED SNOW PEAS

Spicy Wok-Charred Snow Peas image

High-heat stir-fries are ideal for peas - either snow peas or the sugar snap variety. Assertive seasoning and the slight charring from the wok complement the peas' sweetness wonderfully. The method works well for other spring vegetables, too, like asparagus or baby bok choy clusters. Use a wide cast -iron pan if you don't have a wok. Take care to avoid overcooking; the peas should be a vibrant green color and firm to the bite.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 to 8 small dried red chiles
1 pound snow peas, trimmed
1 bunch scallions, trimmed, chopped in 1-inch lengths
Salt and pepper
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
3 tablespoons crushed roasted peanuts
2 tablespoons roughly chopped cilantro

Steps:

Put vegetable oil in a wok over high heat. When oil looks wavy, add chiles and let sizzle for a few seconds.
Add snow peas and scallions and season well with salt and pepper. Cook vegetables over high heat, stirring constantly, until cooked through and lightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes. Peas should be bright green and crisp-tender.
Add garlic, ginger and sesame oil, toss well and cook 1 minute more. Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with peanuts and cilantro.
