  • In a wok heat the oil over medium to medium high heat. Once heated add the chile pepper and green onion. Let cook until fragrant. About 30 seconds. Add the beef. Cook until brown on all sides. Remove from wok and set aside leaving the remaining beef juices in the skillet.
  • To the hot skillet, add baby bok choy, green onion, red chile, and half the sauce. Cook on medium high until the baby bok choy starts to become tender. About 2-3 minutes. Remove the veggies from the wok and set aside leaving the juice at the bottom of the wok.
