Garlic butter Kung Pao Noodles

Method

1. Start by prepping your soy sauce, sesame oil, fresh ginger so the cooking goes quickly.
2. Warm a splash of olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat, then add the fennel bulb and cook until soft and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Turn the heat up, add the kung pao, and cook until deeply browned and aromatic.
4. Fold in the fresh ginger and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
5. Add the coconut milk and let it reduce until it just coats the back of a spoon.
6. Taste and adjust, then finish with a squeeze of lemon right before serving.
7. Serve warm, ideally with something to soak up the sauce.
