Method
Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil and blanch the king oyster mushroom rounds for 3 minutes until tender and lightly translucent at the edges, then lift out and set aside.
In the same water, blanch the sliced shiitake mushrooms for 1 minute until just softened, then lift out and set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a wok over medium-high heat and stir-fry the vegan mince, breaking it up with a spoon, for 5 minutes until lightly browned.
Blanch the eggless wheat noodles and tofu puffs in the boiling water for 2 minutes until the noodles are just tender, then drain well.
Stir the rice vinegar, chilli oil, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, salt and white pepper together in each of 4 serving bowls.
Add the drained noodles to the bowls and toss well to coat evenly in the seasoning.
Top with the vegan mince, mushroom rounds, sliced shiitake and tofu puffs, then scatter over the crispy fried shallots and spring onions to serve.
