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

    Remove the noodles from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. Thinly slice the scallions, separating the white bottoms and hollow green tops. Cut off and discard the root ends of the bok choy; roughly chop, separating the stems and leaves. Roughly chop the peanuts. In a bowl, combine the soy glaze, sesame oil, vinegar, sweet chili sauce, and 1/4 cup of water.

    Cook the beef
    2 Cook the beef

    Pat the beef dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper. In a large, high-sided pan (or pot), heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned beef in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 2 to 3 minutes, or until browned. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes, or until just cooked through. Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to a plate.

    Start the stir-fry
    3 Start the stir-fry

    To the pan of reserved fond, add the chopped garlic, sliced white bottoms of the scallions, and chopped bok choy stems (if the pan seems dry, add a drizzle of olive oil). Season with salt and pepper. Cook on medium-high, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned and slightly softened.

    Meanwhile, using your hands, carefully separate the noodles. Add the noodles and sauce  to the pan of cooked vegetables. Cook, stirring frequently and scraping up any fond, 3 to 5 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced in volume and the noodles are heated through. Turn off the heat; stir in the chopped bok choy leaves and cooked beef until combined and the leaves are wilted. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve the finished stir-fry garnished with the chopped peanuts and sliced green tops of the scallions. Enjoy!
