Preparation

Step 1

1. Place a large pot of salted water over high heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add the noodles and cook according to the package directions to al dente.

2. Toast sesame seeds and/or almonds in a skillet over medium-high heat. You can tell they're done when you can smell them!

3. While the noodles are cooking, heat the marmalade, tamari, chili oil and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper in a small saucepot over low heat. Stir to combine.

4. Place a large skillet over medium-high to high heat and add 1 tablespoon canola oil, about once around the pan. Add the veggies to the pan and cook until the veggies are tender, about 3-4 minutes.

5. Drain the noodles and add them to the skillet with the veggies. Pour the tamari/marmalade mixture into the skillet and give it a good toss to make sure everything's nice and coated with the sauce. If you need more moisture to coat the noodles, add a little chicken stock. Plate the noodles onto dishes and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and/or almonds.
