5 ounces rice stick noodles (see Notes)
8 large dried shiitake mushrooms
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon peeled and minced fresh ginger
1 yellow onion, halved lengthwise and cut into thin wedges
2 serrano chiles, including seeds and ribs, cut into thin rounds
8 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce (see Notes)

1
Place the rice stick noodles in a large bowl and cover completely with hot water.
2
Soak until softened, about 20 minutes.
3
Rinse under warm water, drain, then cover and set aside.
4
Place the mushrooms in a small container with a tight-fitting lid, fill the container to the top with hot water, and cover.
5
(Using a covered container keeps the mushrooms completely submerged.)
6
Soak the mushrooms until softened, about 20 minutes.
7
Drain, discard the stems, and cut the mushrooms into thin strips.
8
Set aside.
9
Meanwhile, in a 6-quart saucepan, heat the oil over medium-low heat and swirl to coat the pan.
10
Saute the garlic, ginger, onion, and chiles until soft but not brown, about 2 minutes.
11
Add the chicken broth, soy sauce, and anise.
12
Reduce the heat to a simmer, partially cover, and cook for 15 minutes.
13
Add the carrot and reserved mushrooms and cook until the carrot is crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.
14
Add the bok choy and salmon.
15
Simmer just until the salmon is cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes longer.
16
Divide the noodles among 6 heated soup bowls.
17
Ladle the soup over the noodles and top each bowl with a piece of salmon and 2 portions of bok choy.
18
Garnish with the basil and serve immediately.
