Steps

1Heat peanut oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
2Add onion and saute until translucent.
3Add cinnamon sticks and star anise. Cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
4Add ginger, garlic and chili paste. Stir until fragrant, about 30 minutes.
5Add chicken stock, sherry, honey, water and soy sauce. Bring stock to a boil. Cover and reduce to a low heat.
6Let soup simmer for at least 30 minutes to one hour.
7Meanwhile, clean bok choy by cutting and discarding the stem. Then cut in half length-wise and cut into quarters. Very roughly chop into smaller pieces (no more than 3 chops). Rinse bok choy three times to remove dirt.
8Place aside.
9Prepare noodles according the packages directions, but cook noodles al dente. When finished, run cool water over noodles to stop them from cooking and place aside.
10After a half or one hour, add bok choy to the broth. After three minutes, add shrimp and spring onions. The bok choy and the shrimp should cook a total of 5 minutes or until shrimp is thoroughly cooked. Do not overcook the ingredients.
