    tips & techniques
    Prepare the ingredients & make the sauce
    1 Prepare the ingredients & make the sauce

    Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the bok choy; roughly chop, separating the leaves and stems. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. In a bowl, combine the cumin-Sichuan sauce, tahini, and soy glaze.

    Cook the beef, bok choy & sauce
    2 Cook the beef, bok choy & sauce

    In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the beef, chopped garlic, and as much of the red pepper flakes as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently and breaking the meat apart with a spoon, 4 to 6 minutes, or until the beef is browned. Using a spoon, move the beef to one side of the pan. Add the chopped bok choy to the other side; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until slightly softened. Add the sauce (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until thoroughly combined and the beef is cooked through. Turn off the heat.

    3 Cook the noodles

    Meanwhile, add the noodles to the pot of boiling water, stirring gently to separate. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 4 minutes, or until tender. Turn off the heat. Drain thoroughly and rinse under warm water 30 seconds to 1 minute to prevent sticking.

Serve the finished noodles garnished with the sesame seeds. Enjoy!
