Method

  1. The pasta: cook for 2 to 3 minutes in a pot of boiling water, then drain and rinse so it doesn't stick.
  2. The tofu: brown in a frying pan with a drizzle of oil over high heat. Set aside.
  3. Dry-roast the cashews in a frying pan for 1 to 2 minutes.
  4. The sauce: brown the chopped garlic, grated ginger, chopped shallots, and Espelette pepper in a wok over high heat. Remove from the heat, deglaze with the soy sauce, then add the rice vinegar, sesame oil, and a dash of water. Set aside.
  5. The vegetables: slice the carrots and zucchini thinly with a mandolin or peeler.
  6. Mix the noodles with the sauce, add the vegetables, snow peas, and chopped green pepper (optional), and sear in the wok. Arrange in a bowl.
  7. Just before serving, add the roasted tofu, sprinkle with the chopped scallions and cilantro leaves, and top with the cashew nuts.
