• 1 tbsp Unsweetened peanut butter
• 1 tbsp White sesame paste
• 1 tbsp White sesame oil
• 0.5 tbsp Fried shallot sauce (Used to add extra aroma)
• 0.5 tbsp Soy sauce
• 0.5 tsp Sugar
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp MSG (Optional)
• 10 tbsp Noodle cooking water or hot water (Use hot water when loosening the sauce to prevent it from clumping)

Steps

1. 1

   Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil.

2. 2

   Add the Guan Miao noodles or Taiwanese ramen to the boiling water and cook.

3. 3

   Add the bok choy and bean sprouts, and cook with the noodles until the noodles are fully cooked and the vegetables are tender. The source does not provide an exact cooking time; follow the noodle package instructions or judge by doneness.

4. 4

   In a bowl, combine the unsweetened peanut butter, white sesame paste, and white sesame oil in a 1:1:1 ratio.

5. 5

   Add the fried shallot sauce, soy sauce, sugar, salt, and optional MSG. Stir well to combine.

6. 6

   Add 10 tbsp of noodle cooking water or hot water, and stir thoroughly until the sauce is smooth. Hot water must be used; otherwise, the peanut butter and sesame paste may clump together.

7. 7

   Drain the cooked noodles and vegetables, transfer them to a bowl, and pour the prepared sesame sauce over them before serving.

Notes

The source does not provide exact cooking times for the noodles and vegetables; adjust according to the noodle package instructions and doneness. The video emphasizes that using more sauce gives the dish a moister texture and helps prevent it from drying out.
