Asian Noodle Soup

  1. In a medium pot over medium high heat, add chicken stock. When stock reaches a boil, add noodles and cook according to directions.
  2. In a sauté pan over medium high heat, add oil. Add garlic and ginger, tofu and shrimp. Sauté for 2 minutes, then add bok choy. Cover and sauté for 4 minutes.
  3. Divide noodles and stock into 4 bowls (ideally decorated Chinese bowls…and while you are at it, pick up some decorated Chinese soup spoons). Top with pan contents. Then sprinkle with green onions, cilantro and peanuts
  4. Let guests season their soup to taste with hoisin, chili paste, soy sauce and sesame oil (or you may add it to the stock, to taste, before serving).
