1. – In a small bowl whisk together all the sauce ingredients and set aside until needed.

2. – Bring a small pot of water to a boil and blanch the bok choy for 2 minutes just until wilted but still bright green in color. Drain in a colander.

3. – Preheat a large skillet over medium heat, add a light drizzle of olive oil and saute the onion until it starts to get some color.

Give everything a good stir to combine. Add the sauce then let it come to a simmer and bubble once or twice. Add the blanched bok choy to the skillet and remove from heat.

DO NOT overcook the noodles, drain them while still al dente, usually shortly after they all untangle from the nest. Rinse well with cold water to stop the cooking process.

7.  – Add the cooked ramen noodles to the skillet with the the rest of the ingredients and carefully toss to coat well in the sauce. Add a little bit of the reserved cooking water from the noodles to stretch out the sauce if needed and desired.

8.  – Serve hot garnished with fresh cilantro, scallions and some red chili flakes for heat.
