Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook soba noodles until al dente, ~4 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, ~60 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Add shrimp in a single layer. Sear 90 seconds per side without moving until opaque and pink. Transfer to a plate.

  4. Step 4

    In the same skillet, add ginger and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in broth and soy sauce. Bring to a simmer.

  5. Step 5

    Add bok choy and cook for 2 minutes until stems soften but leaves stay bright green.

  6. Step 6

    Divide cooked noodles between two bowls. Ladle broth and bok choy over top. Top with shrimp and drizzle with remaining 1 tbsp sesame oil. Serve hot.
