Char Siu Noodles with ginger miso

Method

1. Gather and prep everything first: soy sauce, sesame oil, fresh ginger and set within reach of the stove.
2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the celery in a little butter until translucent.
3. Turn the heat up, add the char siu, and cook until deeply browned and aromatic.
4. Stir in the black pepper along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
5. Pour in the white wine, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook until thickened and glossy.
6. Taste and adjust, then finish with flaky sea salt right before serving.
7. Serve warm, ideally with something to soak up the sauce.
