Directions
Peel and finely chop the ginger, along with the garlic and chilli. Wash and chop the coriander, keeping the stems and leaves separate. Thinly slice the spring onions.
Heat the vegetable oil in a pan, add the ginger, garlic, chilli, coriander stems and the whites of the spring onions to the pan and gently fry for a few minutes.
Break up the mushrooms with your hands, and add them to the pan, turning up the heat to give them some colour
Soak the noodles in freshly boiled water until softened, then drain.
Add 800ml water and star anise to the pan and bring to the boil, leave to bubble away for around 8 minutes, so that the flavours can come together. Season the broth with the soy sauce, sesame oil and rice vinegar.
Wash the baby bok choy and separate the leaves. Stir them into the broth, to soften, and then add the noodles. Stir in the coriander leaves and the greens of the spring onions and serve.
