Preparation
Boil the noodles
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles; stir gently to separate. Boil, 1 to 3 min., until al dente. Reserving ½ cup cooking water (double for 4 portions), drain and return to the pot. Toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Mise en place
Thinly slice the scallions, separating the white bottoms and green tops. Remove the root ends of the bok choy; separate the leaves.
Sauté the vegetables
In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the white bottoms of the scallions and mushrooms. Sauté, 4 to 5 min., until lightly browned. Add the bok choy and sauté, 2 to 3 min., until wilted; season with ½ the spices.
Make the sauce
In a medium bowl, whisk the peanut butter, vinegar, mirin, soy sauce, garlic, ½ the reserved cooking water and the remaining spices.
Combine the noodles
Heat the pot of noodles on medium-high. Add the vegetables and sauce. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 min., until reduced and combined; season with S&P. If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the remaining cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency.
Plate your dish
Divide the noodles between your bowls. Garnish with the green tops of the scallions. Bon appétit!
