    3. Preheat a large pot on low heat. When warm, add cooking oil, chili flakes, ginger, garlic and onion leeks. Stir occasionally and cook for 1-2 minutes. Do not burn the chili.
    4. Add the onion, shiitake mushroom, sliced squid and eggplant. Sauté for 2-3 minutes.

    6. While the soup is boiling, cook the sotanghon or any kind of noodles according to package instruction. Drain and rinse the noodles briefly in cold water.
    7. Divide the noodles, soup, seafood and bok choy into bowls. Serve hot and with additional chili.
