  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 2 cups water

  • 1 bunch green onions, sliced

Instructions:
  1. Heat sesame oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add white pieces of bok choy and carrots, saute for 5 minutes. Add garlic and ginger, and saute one minute longer.
  2. Add broth, water, soy sauce, and fish sauce. Bring to a boil.

  4. Turn off heat, stir in rice vinegar, and serve immediately.
Recipe Notes:
  • If you prefer chicken instead of shrimp, add boneless, skinless chicken breasts with the broth. Simmer until chicken is heated through, remove to shred meat, and return to pot with noodles.
