One Minute Noodles (Black Vinegar/Chilli Oil)

One Minute Noodles (Black Vinegar/Chilli Oil) and Spicy Miso Braised Eggplant
Servings: 4
NOTE: Ramen noodles come in 150g packets, so if making a single serving just 1/4 all of the ingredient measurements in this recipe.

INGREDIENTS:
½ cup Chinese black vinegar
¼ cup high-grade sesame oil
¼ cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
720 grams fresh noodles of choice, cooked and chilled.
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions
1 tablespoon chili oil
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Optional: 0.5 Bok Choy (cut vertically down the serving) per serving

PREPARATION
In a medium bowl, mix together the black vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce, and sugar. Set aside.
Boil water in the kettle, pour into a bowl, and put the bok choy in. Let sit until cooked through but still crisp - ~3min, then remove. Alternatively, you can steam it.
Cook the noodles according to the package instructions, then drain. Place the noodles in the bowl with the sauce and toss to coat.
Garnish with the garlic, scallions, chili oil, and sesame seeds.

TOPPINGS:
- Spicy Pork Belly (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEFoQuuYi5E); untested
- Sliced roast chicken; untested
- Spicy Miso Braised Eggplant (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9AlEklkw1Q or https://www.marionskitchen.com/spicy-miso-braised-eggplant/); TESTED, rly quite good! The eggplant recipe itself desperately needs some acidity to cut through the saltiness, and the sauce of these noodles provides that perfectly! The eggplant would also be nice on rice, but would benefit from some lime juice or chinese black vinegar.
