6. **Pancake and Broccoli:**
7. Cook 8 ounces fettuccine in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente (about 5-8 minutes for whole wheat; adjust based on pasta type).
8. Drain, rinse with cold water, and drain again.
9. Place noodles on a clean kitchen towel and blot to remove excess moisture.
10. Return noodles to the pot and toss with 1 teaspoon sesame oil.
11. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, and a pinch of salt.
12. Heat 3 teaspoons oil in a large heavy skillet (or skillet and wok).
13. Add noodles, spreading them evenly.
14. Cover and cook over medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes, shaking occasionally to prevent sticking.
15. In a second skillet (or wok), heat 3 teaspoons oil over medium heat.
16. Add 1 tablespoon minced ginger, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
17. Stir-fry until fragrant, about 20 seconds. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
18. Add 2 cups broccoli florets and stir-fry until coated with oil and seasonings.
19. Cover and cook over medium heat until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes.
20. Add the sauce mixture and stir to coat.
21. Stir-fry over medium heat until thickened, about 3 minutes.
22. When the noodle pancake is browned and crisped on one side, place a large platter or lid on top of the skillet and carefully invert the pancake.
23. Slide the pancake back into the skillet, crisp-side up, and brown the other side, covered, over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes.
24. Transfer the noodle pancake to a platter.
25. Spoon the broccoli mixture on top and sprinkle with the tamari walnuts.
26. Cut into wedges and serve immediately.
