  5. Pour in the chicken broth, coconut milk, fish sauce and the remaining half of the soy sauce. Bring to a simmer.
  6. Return the meatballs to the pot and simmer 8 to 10 minutes, until they reach 165°F (74°C) in the center.
  7. Add the rice noodles and bok choy and simmer 4 to 5 minutes, until the noodles are tender.
  8. Turn off the heat and stir in the lime juice. Ladle into bowls and top with the green onion greens and cilantro.
