instructions
1
Prepare the ingredients & make the sauce
Fill a large pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. Cut off and discard the stems of the peppers. Halve lengthwise; remove the ribs and seeds, then thinly slice crosswise. Cut off and discard the root ends of the bok choy; thinly slice crosswise. In a bowl, whisk together the tahini, soy glaze, ponzu sauce, 1/4 cup of water, and as much of the sambal oelek as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be.

Cook the beef & vegetables
In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the beef and chopped garlic. Cook, stirring frequently and breaking the meat apart with a spoon, 4 to 6 minutes, or until lightly browned. Carefully drain off and discard any excess oil. Using a spoon, move the beef to one side of the pan. Add the sautéed aromatics (carefully, as the liquid may splatter), sliced peppers, and sliced bok choy to the other side. Cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes, or until the vegetables are slightly softened and the beef is cooked through. Turn off the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.
3
Cook the noodles
Meanwhile, add the noodles to the pot of boiling water, stirring gently to separate. Cook 3 to 5 minutes, or until tender. Turn off the heat. Drain thoroughly and rinse under warm water 30 seconds to 1 minute to prevent sticking; return to the pot. Add the sesame oil and stir to thoroughly coat.
4
Finish & serve your dish

Cook on medium-high, stirring constantly, 1 to 2 minutes, or until combined and the noodles are thoroughly coated Turn off the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.
