SOBA NOODLES WITH CHICKEN AND SNAP PEAS
A simple sesame-soy dressing coats chewy soba noodles, tender chicken and crisp sugar snap peas in this dish that's good at room temperature or cold. It's a great way to use leftover or store-bought rotisserie chicken, but also works well without. You can double up on the snap peas instead or fold in other vegetables, like grated carrots, shredded cabbage or thinly sliced bok choy. The quick daikon pickles add a bright tangy crunch, but you can skip them and still enjoy this one-bowl meal.

Steps:
- Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Meanwhile, mix the vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Add the daikon and press into the mixture to submerge as much as possible. Let stand until ready to serve, mixing occasionally.
- Add 1/4 cup salt to the boiling water. Add the snap peas and cook just until bright green and tender, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Using a spider or slotted spoon, transfer to a colander and immediately rinse under cold water until cool. Drain well.
- Add the noodles to the boiling water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 4 to 8 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold water until cool and drain again.
- While the noodles cook, whisk the soy sauce, sesame oil, red-pepper flakes and remaining 2 tablespoons honey in a large bowl. Add the chicken, soba and snap peas and toss until evenly coated. Season to taste with salt.
- Divide among bowls. Drain the daikon pickles and arrange on top, then garnish with the scallions, sesame seeds and additional red-pepper flakes.

Steps:
- For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Clean the chicken and sprinkle the entire bird, inside and out, with salt and pepper. Stuff the bird with the oranges, garlic, onions, celery, rosemary and thyme. Place the chicken on a rack in a roasting pan and bake for 20 minutes. If the chicken is browning too quickly, turn the oven down to 375 degrees F and cook until the internal temperature of the chicken is 165 degrees, about 1 hour 20 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the oven, tent with foil and let rest 30 minutes. While the chicken is cooking, work on the garnishes.
- For the snow peas and carrots: Fill a large pot with water, season with salt and bring to a boil. Prepare an ice bath by placing ice cubes and water in a bowl. Set aside. Dump the snap peas into the boiling water and cook until al dente. Be sure to test the peas as they are cooking to prevent them from overcooking. Use a slotted spoon to remove the snow peas from the water and plunge into the ice bath. Remove from the ice when cool and reserve until service.
- Put the carrots, ginger, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons butter and brown sugar in a saute pan and add water until the carrots are barely covered. The carrots should be in a single layer. Put on high heat and cook until all the water is nearly evaporated. Cover and set aside for service.
- For the star anise sauce: Combine the stock, soy sauce, anise seeds, honey, vinegar, sesame oil and thyme and reduce until the sauce coats the back of a spoon.
- Once the chicken has rested, carve the bird by removing the legs from the thighs and slicing the breasts in half. Pour any juices that have collected in the pan into the sauce and hold warm over low heat.
- To finish the snap peas, heat a saute pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon butter. Once it is bubbly, add the garlic and snap peas. Season with salt and pepper. To finish the carrots, gently reheat over medium heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter to moisten.
- Once everything is hot, serve a piece of white and dark meat garnished with the carrots, snap peas and drizzled with the sauce.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. Look for fresh, seasonal vegetables and high-quality chicken.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken and vegetables, make sure you don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to make sure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Add the snap peas at the end: Snap peas cook quickly, so add them to the pan last. This will help them retain their鮮亮 color and crisp texture.
- Season to taste: Once the dish is cooked, taste it and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or other spices.
