Ingredients

 * 1 pound Shanghai noodles (the thick ones)
 * 3 tablespoons sesame oil
 * 10 shiitake mushrooms, sliced
 * 6 ounces baby bok choy, trimmed and quartered
 * 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
 * 1 tablespoon coconut aminos

Preparation

 * 1) In a medium saucepan, bring about 2 quarts water to a rapid boil. Add noodles and cook for about 3 minutes. Check the noodles. You want the outside of the noodles to be soft but still a bit firm on the inside.
 * 2) Remove the noodles from the heat, drain, and rinse under cold running water. Stir a few drops of oil into the noodles to prevent them from sticking together.
 * 3) Heat up sesame oil in a large nonstick pan, a wok, or a cast iron skillet over high heat. Add mushrooms and bok choy. Sauté until the bok choy starts to wilt, about 2 minutes.
 * 4) Switch to medium heat. Add cooked noodles to the pan, followed by dark soy sauce and coconut aminos. Stir fry everything together until the noodles get an even brown color.
 * 5) Serve immediately!
