What a wonderful side dish! I used a light homemade Chinese chicken stock, regular baby bok choy and some extra fish sauce and sesame oil. We all loved it -- including our exchange students from the Czech Republic and Japan. Made for the Asian Forum's Use Your Noodle Tag Game.

This is so easy and quick to toss together. I did use Shanghai Tips and they are tender and yummy I added them the last 3 minutes of cooking the pasta. Perfect! Thanks!
