Bring a big pot of salted water to boil. Add the rice noodles when boiling and cook 2-3 minutes or until al dente. Drain.

Chop the bottom inches of both the mushrooms and the bok choy and throw away ends. Wash and chop the rest. Chop green and white onion. Pick the leaves off the cilantro and chop.
