Bring 1 liter of water to a boil in a large pot. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Once boiling, add 250 grams of dry eggless noodles and cook according to package instructions until just tender, approximately 5-7 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of dark soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of vegetarian oyster sauce, 2 teaspoons of sesame oil, and 0.5 teaspoon of white pepper to create the sauce. Set aside.
While the noodles are cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and fry until golden and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Add 2 bunches of baby bok choy to the pan and stir-fry until just wilted, about 3 minutes.
Once the noodles are cooked, drain them and immediately toss them with the prepared sauce to coat well.
Divide the noodles among serving bowls. Top each portion with the stir-fried bok choy and sprinkle with 3 tablespoons of fried shallots and chopped spring onions from 2 stalks.
Serve the Vegetarian Kolo Mee hot as a delightful main course.
