Miso Butter Noodles with Shitakes and Baby Bok Choy

I was excited to try a new restaurant this week: TanakaSan.  Overall the meal (which included shrimp fritters, a coconut beet salad, and a hamachi sashimi with apple) was a little disappointing, with the exception of an amazing noodle dish with miso butter.  I decided to try making my own miso butter noodles with some beautiful baby bok choy and shitakes that came in my Full Circle Farms delivery.
