This quick-cooking spin on a Chinese takeout favorite highlights our flavorful soy-miso sauce (brightened with a bit of heat from sambal oelek), which coats springy noodles, tender shrimp, and crisp bok choy. Just before serving, we’re garnishing it all with roasted peanuts for a bit of crunch.

Fill a large pot with water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the bok choy. Cut off and discard the root end of the bok choy; thinly slice. Roughly chop the peanuts. In a bowl, combine the soy-miso sauce, 1/4 cup of water, and as much of the sambal oelek as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be.
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the shrimp in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 1 to 2 minutes, or until slightly opaque. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until mostly opaque. Add the sliced bok choy, sauce, and sautéed aromatics. Cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes, or until the bok choy is softened and the shrimp are cooked through. Turn off the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.
While the shrimp and bok choy cook, using your hands, separate the noodles. Add to the pot of boiling water and cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 4 minutes, or until tender. Turn off the heat. Drain thoroughly and return to the pot.
Add the cooked shrimp and bok choy and peppers to the pot of cooked noodles. Stir to thoroughly combine. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve the finished noodles garnished with the chopped peanuts. Enjoy!
