4. Cook the noodles: Add noodles to the stock in the wok and boil for 2 minutes. Stir in remaining black bean sauce and lime juice.
5. Add vegetables: Slice peppers, sugar snap peas, bok choi, and coriander stalks in the processor. Add to the wok with torn mushrooms and cook for 1 minute.
6. Finish the burgers: Glaze burgers with honey and sesame seeds in the pan, turning to coat.
7. Serve: Dish out the noodles and veggies into bowls. Serve burgers on a board with lime wedges and the fresh pickle salad.
