Instructions

Step 1: Cook rice noodles according to package directions in a large pot of boiling water, then drain and rinse under cold water. Toss with 1/2 tsp sesame oil to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook for 2 minutes per side until pink and opaque; remove and set aside.
Step 3: Add ginger and garlic to the skillet and stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant. Add bok choy halves and cook for 3 minutes until slightly wilted.
Step 4: Return shrimp to the skillet, then add soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine and simmer for 2 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
Step 5: Add cooked rice noodles to the skillet and toss gently to coat. Cook for 1 minute to heat through, then sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds before serving.
