Drizzle with sesame oil, and toss again. Serve with red-pepper flakes, sesame seeds, and salt for sprinkling, if desired.

Cook's Notes

Similar greens -- such as yow choy, also known as choy sum (which looks almost identical to bok choy but bears small yellow flowers), broccolini, or even regular broccoli -- will work well in this dish if you cant find Chinese broccoli. You can buy wide rice noodles at Asian grocery stores, or use the narrow rice noodles (often labeled "pad thai noodles"), which many supermarkets carry.
