Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat a large pot over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes. Once hot, add grapeseed oil and swirl to coat the bottom.
  2. Add chopped bok choy to the pot, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until it wilts but remains crisp. Set aside.
  3. In the same pot, add remaining grapeseed oil, shallots, shiitake mushrooms, and half of the green onions. Sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.
  4. Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
  5. Pour in vegetable broth and water, then add soy sauce and star anise. Bring to a gentle boil for about 10 minutes.
  6. Add rice noodles and cook according to package instructions, typically 4-6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Gently stir the sautéed bok choy back into the pot for 1-2 minutes. Remove star anise before serving.
  8. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with remaining green onions and sesame seeds.
