Add mushrooms and stir occasionally, for about 2 minutes. Mushrooms will begin to soften and release a bit of their moisture. Add about 1/4 cup vegetable stock and stir, scraping up contents from bottom of pan. Add tamari and allow to simmer for a few minutes to concentrate the flavor before adding peanut butter and remaining stock. Let broth simmer gently for about 10 minutes, until warmed through.
  2. Meanwhile, prepare 2 bowls by dividing noodles, bok choy, edamame, carrots, and green onion between them. When ready to serve, add vinegar to broth and ladle with mushrooms over each bowl. Add a spoonful of chili oil if you enjoy extra spice.
