Instructions

Have all your ingredients prepped before you begin

  • Assembling and preparing all the ingredients in advance is key when cooking Asian cuisine. Once you have all your components washed, peeled, chopped, trimmed, mixed, and sliced, you are ready to heat your pan and get cooking because dinner is now only moments away.

Wash and slice vegetables

  • Prepare the bok choy by washing it thoroughly and chopping it into bite-sized pieces (including the green tops).
  • Peel the carrots and line them up to cut them into slices.
  • Peel and slice the onions.
  • Place the prepared veggies into bowls and set them aside while preparing the sauce and beef.

Prepare sauce

  • In a small bowl, mix water and cornstarch, then combine all sauce ingredients, whisking together. Set aside.

Slice the meat

  • Slice the beef, across the grain, into thin slices for quick cooking. Diced meat will take a little longer to cook than slices. Set aside.

Cook the noodles

  • Cook to al dente in boiling water according to your packaged instructions. Drain and set aside.

Finish the dish

  • Heat oil in a wok or large skillet.
  • Add the onions and garlic. Sauté over medium-high heat until bright and starting to soften.
  • Add the meat, and continue to sauté until it is heated through.
  • Add the carrots stirring frequently.
  • Stir in the bok choy and continue to cook.
  • Add the spinach.
  • Stir fry all vegetables until tender.
  • Add the drained noodles and sauté until heated through.
  • Finally, add the sauce to the mixture in the wok, tossing to coat completely.
  • Mix well to combine and continue to cook until the sauce has thickened.
  • Taste the noodles and add the seasonings to suit your taste.

Garnish

  • Garnish to suit your taste with green onion (or chives), Parsley and or sesame seeds for crunch.

Notes

The options here are limitless!
Feel free to add or swap vegetables as desired. You can add other vegetables such as:
  • Asparagus
  • Eggplant
  • Zucchini (green or yellow)
  • Peas
  • Snap Peas
  • Brussel sprouts
  • Water chestnuts
  • Bell peppers
  • String Beans
  • Bok Choy
  • Chinese Broccoli
  • Baby corns
  • Yellow squash
  • Green cabbage
  • Mushrooms
  • Broccolli
If making vegetable swaps, please remember that softer vegetables like mushrooms and pea pods will take less time to cook than firmer vegetables like carrots.
Remember to cut up your veggies about all the same size if possible so that they all cook evenly as well. You'll want the veggies to be tender yet crisp and not mushy. Like broccoli and cauliflower, some veggies take longer to cook, so you might want to give those a 1-2 minute head start cooking before adding the other veggies.
You can add other meats such as:
  • Chicken
  • Shrimp
  • Pork
  • Turkey
  • Tofu
The mixture of cornstarch and water is the thickening agent. Be sure to add this mixture right at the end, and simmer the sauce for at least 20 seconds after adding it. This ensures that you cook the cornstarch mixture thoroughly and that the sauce has enough time to thicken.
As a replacement for the rice wine vinegar, lime juice can be used if needed.
