Ingredients

• 3 oz dry egg noodles (or any noodles of your choice)
• 6 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 small baby bok choy, separated into leaves
• 1 ½ cups homemade or store-bought stock (chicken, seafood, or vegetable)
• 1 scallion, finely chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon light soy sauce (or to taste)
• Pinch of black or white pepper powder
• Salt, to taste
• 4 cups water (for boiling noodles and blanching bok choy)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
   • Separate the bok choy leaves and trim the ends. Chop the scallion greens finely.
2. Cook the Noodles and Bok Choy:
   • Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add the dry noodles and cook according to the package instructions (usually 2–3 minutes).
   • Two minutes before the noodles are done, add the bok choy leaves to the boiling water to blanch them.
   • Drain the noodles and bok choy, rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking, and set aside.
3. Prepare the Stock and Cook the Shrimp:
   • In a separate pot, bring the stock to a boil. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the boiling stock and cook until they curl up and turn pink, about 1–2 minutes depending on their size.
4. Assemble the Soup:
   • In a serving bowl, place some chopped scallions, a pinch of pepper, and salt (if needed).
   • Pour the hot stock with the shrimp over the seasoning in the bowl. Stir in the soy sauce to enhance the flavor.
   • Add the cooked noodles to the center of the bowl, and arrange the bok choy and shrimp around the noodles.
5. Serve Immediately:
   • Serve the soup hot, garnished with extra scallions or a drizzle of sesame oil if desired.
