For the Braised Mushrooms:
Method
Step 1
Combine tamari, vegan oyster sauce, cooking wine, sweetener, sesame oil, pepper and dark soy sauce to make a seasoning.
Step 2
In a large non-stick pan on medium heat, add the olive oil. Once the oil heats up, add the shiitake mushroom. Sear the mushroom until light golden brown on both sides.
Step 3
Add minced shallots and garlic to the pan. Stir fry until fragrant.
Step 4
Pour water into the pan and bring to a simmer.
Step 5
Add prepared seasoning and stir until well combined. Simmer for about 20 minutes.
Step 6
Next, add cornstarch slurry to the mushroom mixture while stirring constantly. Simmer for a few minutes until the sauce has thickened.
Step 7
Adjust additional seasoning (tamari, white pepper, and sweetener) according to preference.
Step 8
Remove from heat, set aside and keep the mushroom sauce warm.
For the Noodles:
Step 1
For every serving of wonton noodles, add ½ tbsp. tamari, 2 teaspoons garlic oil, 1 teaspoon sesame oil and white pepper to a serving bowl. Whisk lightly to combine to make seasoning sauce.
Step 2
Cook wonton noodles until al dente. Rinse noodles in cold water to remove excess starch and submerge in hot water again to reheat the noodles. Drain thoroughly.
Step 3
Transfer the drained noodles to the serving bowl. Toss with sauce until well combined.
Step 4
Add blanched Chinese greens followed by mushroom and liberal amounts of sauce to the noodles.
Step 5
Serve immediately with some pickled green chili or sliced red chili peppers.
