- Add 1 cup water and 1/8 tsp salt to a medium pot (Use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.

- Carefully drain and discard excess fat.
- Add ginger and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1 min.
- Add bok choy, Szechuan sauce, soy sauce and 1/4 cup (1/3 cup) water to pan with beef. Cook, stirring often, until bok choy is tender, 2-3 min.
