Round out a bowl of spicy, savory, saucy pork and soba noodles with bright green asparagus—cooked just enough to retain its freshness and crunch. By adding the chopped pieces to the pot of boiling water for the last minute of noodle cooking, you’ll quickly blanch the vegetables, keeping them perfectly crisp-tender, all without having to pull out another pot.
