Heat remaining oil in a wok or skillet and stir-fry the ginger, garlic, and peppers for 2 min. Add the bok choy and the remaining soy sauce. Sauté for 3 min., or until peppers are tender. Stir in the noodles and green onions. Divide the noodles onto 4 plates and top with the meatballs. Serve with extra soy sauce to taste.
