Continue to add the stems of the bok choy to the pan and stir-fry over medium heat for about 2 – 3 minutes until the stems are cooked, then add the leaves of the bok choy and stir-fry for another 3 – 4 minutes.

How to Choose Good Beef
- To choose good beef, you should observe the color of the meat. Fresh beef usually has a bright red color, not dark red.
- You should choose small and tender pieces of meat, with a smooth texture, and when you press your finger on it, it should have good elasticity.
- Do not buy pieces of meat that have small white spots or are easily detached, as they may contain parasites. You should also avoid small pieces of meat that have been pre-cut, as it is difficult to assess the quality of the meat.

How to choose delicious bok choy
- You should choose bok choy with a vibrant green color, smooth leaves, without bruises or black spots, rotten areas, and leaves that are not wilted or yellowing.
- Delicious bok choy usually has thick, firm stems, and the base part swells, feeling heavy in hand.
- It is advisable to go to the market or supermarket early to select fresh green bok choy.
How to remove the smell of beef
- Method 1: Roast a piece of ginger until cooked, peel off the burnt outer layer, then pound the ginger and rub it onto the beef, keeping it for about 3 minutes before rinsing it with clean water.
- Method 2: Since beef does not have a strong smell, you can also wash the meat briefly with diluted salt water. Do not wash too thoroughly as it will lose the nutrients in the meat, making it less tasty.
