step 1
Prepare the ingredients & make the sauce
Fill a medium pot (or large for 4 servings) 3/4 of the way up with water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Using a zester or the small side of a box grater, finely grate the lime to get 1 teaspoon of zest (or 2 teaspoons for 4 servings). Quarter the lime(s). Cut off and discard the stem of the pepper(s). Quarter lengthwise; remove the ribs and seeds, then thinly slice crosswise. Peel the ginger; finely chop to get 1 tablespoon (or 2 tablespoons for 4 servings). Cut off and discard the root ends of the bok choy; roughly chop, separating the stems and leaves. In a bowl, combine the lime zest, peanuts, and a drizzle of olive oil; stir to combine. Taste, then season with salt if desired. In a separate bowl, combine the sugar, soy sauce, ponzu sauce, hoisin sauce, and as much of the sambal oelek as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be.

In a separate bowl, combine the sugar, soy sauce, ponzu sauce, hoisin sauce, and as much of the sambal oelek as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be.

step 2
Fry the eggs
In a large nonstick pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Crack the eggs into the pan, keeping them separate; season with salt and pepper. Cook 4 to 5 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your desired degree of doneness. Transfer to a plate; cover with foil to keep warm. Wipe out the pan.

step 3
Cook the bok choy & pepper
In the same pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the sliced pepper(s) and chopped ginger in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the chopped bok choy stems. Cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes, or until softened. Turn off the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

step 4
Cook the noodles
Meanwhile, add the noodles to the pot of boiling water, stirring gently to separate. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes, or until tender. Turn off the heat. Drain thoroughly and rinse under warm water 30 seconds to 1 minute to prevent sticking. Return to the pot.

step 5
Finish the noodles & serve your dish
To the pot of cooked noodles, add the cooked pepper(s) and bok choy, sauce, chopped bok choy leaves, and the juice of as many lime wedges as you'd like. Cook on medium-high, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes, or until combined and the noodles are thoroughly coated. Turn off the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve the finished noodles topped with the fried eggs and lime peanuts. Serve any remaining lime wedges on the side, if you'd like. Enjoy!
