Boil the noodles
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles; stir gently to separate. Boil, 5 to 7 min., until al dente. Drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.

Make the spiced peanuts
In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium. Sauté ½ the garlic, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Reduce the heat to low and add the peanuts. Cook, stirring frequently, 30 sec. to 1 min., until coated; season with ½ the spices. Cook, stirring frequently, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Transfer to a bowl. Wipe out and reserve the pan.
Sauté the vegetables
In the same pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium. Sauté the ginger and remaining garlic, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the carrots and sauté, 2 to 3 min., until beginning to soften. Add the sweet pepper and yu choy. Sauté, 2 to 3 min., until tender; season with the remaining spices and S&P.

To the pan of vegetables, add the soy sauce, ponzu and noodles. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 3 min., until the noodles are coated; season with S&P.
