Instructions

Step 1: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 300 g fresh Shanghai-style wheat noodles and cook for 2-3 minutes until just tender. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking.
Step 2: Heat 3 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok over high heat until shimmering. Add 3 cloves minced garlic and 1 tbsp minced ginger, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 3: Add 200 g chopped bok choy to the wok and stir-fry for 2 minutes until slightly wilted but still crisp.
Step 4: Add the drained noodles to the wok along with 2 tbsp light soy sauce, 1 tsp dark soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, and 1/4 tsp white pepper. Toss everything together and stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until the noodles are evenly coated and heated through.
Step 5: Serve immediately, garnished with additional scallions or toasted sesame seeds if desired.
