We'll start by washing and cutting our bok choy (12 oz) into quarters along the stem.

Then, we'll chop our green onions (1 piece) into small pieces.

(Assuming our shrimp (8 piece) are already deveined and peeled, we don't need to do anything to them.)

Set the stove to high heat and bring a pot of water to a boil. We'll want to use more water so that the noodles cook faster, which leads to a more chewy, springy texture.

Spread the noodles (15 oz) out so they don't clump up when cooking.

With the stove still set to high heat, let the noodles cook in the boiling water for about 60 seconds.

Then, dunk them in cold water for a few seconds. After dunking them in cold water, we'll place them in the pot again for about 15-20 seconds.

Transfer the noodles to a bowl. We'll add a bit of olive oil (1 tbsp) to the noodles and mix it around.

Using other types of noodles

We talk about this more in the video, but if you're starting with frozen noodles (if you have a big batch for whatever reason), microwave the noodles for 30-60 seconds, and then spread them out before cooking them.

If you're using dried noodles, then you'll need to boil them for longer initially (around 2-4 minutes) before dunking them in cold water.

For our broth, we'll add water (4 cup) and chicken broth (14 oz) to the pot, and bring it to a boil.

Once boiling, we'll add olive oil (1 tbsp), which helps the bok choy keep its green color, along with some salt (1 tsp). The bubbles might rise rapidly once you do this, so be careful!

Throw in the bok choy, stir for a bit, and cover the pot. With our stove still on high heat, we'll let the bok choy cook for about 1-2 minutes until the pot returns to a boil.

Then, we'll add fish sauce (1 tbsp) (a ton of umami!), sesame oil (1 tsp), and white pepper (0.25 tsp). Taste to see if you need any adjustments.

We'll dump the shrimp in as we start plating the bok choy on top of the noodles.

The shrimp only need about a minute to cook. You can tell they're ready once they've turned orange. When ready, plate the shrimp on the noodles.

We have a whole recipe and video on this, but if you're starting with raw wontons, you'll boil them in a pot of vigorously boiling water for about 3-5 minutes until they start floating. We have some additional pro-tips for cooking in our wonton video so be sure to check the video out if you haven't seen it already.

Transfer the wontons onto the bowl of noodles, and carefully pour in the soup broth. Garnish with green onions.
