Preparation
Start the vegetables
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. In a large, high-sided pan, heat a generous drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the mushrooms, garlic and lemongrass. Sauté, 3 to 4 min., until nicely browned; season with ⅔ of the spices and S&P.
Boil the noodles
Meanwhile, add the noodles to the pot of boiling water; stir gently to separate. Boil, 2 to 4 min., until al dente. Drain and rinse. Toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, thinly slice the celery crosswise on an angle. Remove the root ends of the bok choy; roughly chop. Juice the lime. In a small bowl, make the sauce by combining the cashew butter, soy sauce, lime juice (start with ½) and remaining spices.
Finish the vegetables
To the pan of mushrooms, add the celery. Sauté, 1 to 2 min., until slightly softened. Add the bok choy and sauté, 1 to 2 min., until tender.
Combine the noodles
To the pan of vegetables, add the noodles, sauce and 4 tbsp water (double for 4 portions). Cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 min., until combined.

Divide the noodles between your bowls. Bon appétit!
