Prepare the shiitake mushrooms by slicing them thinly. Mince the garlic and thinly slice the spring onions.
In a small bowl, mix together 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, and water to create the sauce base.
Heat 1 tablespoon of neutral oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until softened. Pour in half of the sauce mixture and simmer for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the mushrooms to soak up the flavors. Set aside.
Blanch the wonton noodles in boiling water for 2-3 minutes or according to package directions. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Drizzle a little neutral oil over the noodles and toss to prevent sticking.
Blanch the baby bok choy in the same boiling water for 1-2 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.
Heat the remaining tablespoon of neutral oil in a large wok or pan over medium heat. Add the cooked noodles and pour in the remaining sauce mixture. Toss thoroughly to coat the noodles evenly.
Divide the noodles into two serving bowls. Top each bowl with the sautéed mushrooms, blanched baby bok choy, and a sprinkle of fried shallots and sliced spring onions.
Optionally, add a dollop of chili paste for an extra kick. Serve warm and enjoy your dairy-free Wan Tan Mee!
