- To the simmering broth, add the bok choy leaves and shrimp and cook until bok choy is tender and the shrimp are warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Ladle soup into bowls over the vermicelli noodles and garnish with a lime wedge, chopped coriander (cilantro) and chilli oil, if using.
