Method
Bring a large pot of water to a boil.

Drain and then rinse in cold water and drain again; set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together broth, tamari, sesame oil and pepper flakes; set aside.
Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat for 1 minute.
Swirl peanut oil briefly around the wok and then add ginger and garlic and cook until aromatic, about 15 seconds.
