2. Cooking Directions

  1. Whisk rice wine, oyster sauce and cornstarch in a small bowl until the cornstarch is dissolved.
  2. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add beef and crushed red pepper to taste; cook, stirring, until the beef begins to brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Add shrimp and continue to cook, stirring, until the shrimp is opaque and pink, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the beef, shrimp and any juices to a plate.
  3. Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil over medium-high heat in the same pan. Add bok choy and cook, stirring, until it begins to wilt, 2 to 4 minutes. Stir in the cornstarch mixture. Return the beef-shrimp mixture to the pan and cook, stirring, until heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 1 minute.

Yield: 4 servings

3. Still Hungry?

Oyster sauce and rice wine give this speedy stir-fry a rich flavor that balances the clean, sweet crunch of bok choy. Make It a Meal: Rice noodles or brown basmati rice and a Tsing Tao beer will make you feel like you're eating in your favorite Chinese restaurant.

Notes:

Ingredient Note

Shao Hsing (or Shaoxing) is a seasoned rice wine. It is available in most Asian specialty markets and some larger supermarkets in the Asian section. If unavailable, dry sherry is an acceptable substitute.

  • Pretty Good

    I liked it...easy to make. Make it with beef or shrimp or both, I made it with both. Next time I will not chop up the shrimp, I prefer them whole. Not sure why it\'s assumed you can\'t mix beef and shrimp together (surf and turf!).

  • loved it!!!

    I really enjoyed this dish. I served it over rice. I have to say though that i wasn\'t crazy with the bok choy. I will subsitute it with brocolli or cabbage next time and i think i would just do shrimp or beef but not both of them together. I did however triple the sauce( rice wine and oyster ) to have more sauce for my rice. loved the sauce!

    I made this recipe and was a little nervous on how my family would like it. My kids age 12 and 5 loved it! They didn\'t eat the shrimp but they loved the bok choy and the beef. Very simple to make.

  • Easy, tasty, pretty and healthy!

    Simple recipe flexible to anybody\'s taste. I added asparagus, carrots, snow peas and green onions. I cut the veggies diagnally for a pretty presentation. If I had peanuts or fresh mushrooms, I would\'ve added those too! Enjoy!!

    I added other vegetables too, like the other reviewer. Since I don\\'t eat beef and don\\'t like shrimp, I used chicken breast and it was GREAT!
