RICE NOODLES WITH GARLICKY CASHEW SAUCE
This dish is loosely based on an Indo-Chinese garlic noodle dish. Here, a combination of Italian and Chinese condiments like cashews, Parmesan, soy sauce and anchovies create a creamy, umami-rich garlic sauce. This recipe uses rice noodles, but you could use egg noodles, ramen or any type of noodle. Since Parmesan, anchovies and soy sauce tend to fall on the saltier side, taste as you go and season the sauce accordingly. Feel free to reduce the amount of garlic, as it leans toward the generous side. These noodles are best eaten warm as soon as they're mixed with the sauce.

Steps:
- Soak the cashews in 2 cups of boiling water for 15 minutes.
- Start the noodles: As cashews soak, prepare the noodles according to package directions. Reserve 3/4 cup of the hot cooking water and drain the noodles, then transfer the noodles to a large mixing bowl. Toss them with 1 tablespoon sesame oil to prevent them from sticking.
- Drain the cashews and discard the soaking water. Transfer the cashews to a blender. Add the Parmesan, garlic, soy sauce, anchovy paste and black pepper. With the blender on high speed, add 1/4 cup of the reserved hot cooking water, then add 2 tablespoons at a time until the mixture emulsifies. Taste and adjust salt.
- Add the sauce to the noodles and toss to coat. Divide the noodles among 4 serving bowls. Garnish with scallions, sesame seeds and toasted sesame oil, if using. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Place 3/4 cup cashews in a blender and cover with 3/4 cup boiling water. Let soak 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix turmeric, pepper, 1 tsp. salt, and 1 tsp. brown sugar in a small bowl; set aside.
- Working one at a time, place pork chop flat on a work surface. First, butterfly the pork chop so that it's thinner, which will reduce cooking time and create more surface area for seasoning. Using a sharp knife and starting from an outside edge, slice three-quarters of the way through the center of chop, as though you're slicing a bagel in half, then open it up like a book. Place butterflied chop between 2 sheets of plastic wrap or inside a heavy-duty resealable plastic bag and pound to 1/4" thin. Repeat with remaining chop. Rub chops with turmeric mixture and let sit 10 minutes.
- Cook vermicelli according to package directions. Run under cold water to stop the cooking, then transfer to a large bowl.
- Add basil, chiles, lime zest and juice, and remaining 1 1/2 tsp. brown sugar and 3/4 tsp. salt to cashews and cashew soaking water in blender and purée until smooth and creamy. Pour sauce over noodles and toss to combine.
- Heat oil in a large heavy skillet over high until shimmering. Cook cutlets one at a time until browned and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes. Slice into 1/2"-thick strips.
- While pork rests, cook green beans in same skillet over high heat, stirring often, until lightly charred and crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.
- Divide noodle mixture among bowls. Arrange pork and green beans over. Top with mint and remaining 1/4 cup cashews. Serve with lime wedges alongside.
