Method
 

Instructions
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 1 pound of ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Sear for about 5-7 minutes until browned.
  2. Add 3 cloves of minced garlic and 1 tablespoon of freshly grated ginger. Stir for about 1 minute until fragrant, but avoid burning.
  3. Pour in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, stirring together. Cook for another minute until the mixture thickens.
  4. Add the chopped stems of 1 head of bok choy, stirring into the beef for about 1 minute until they soften slightly.
  5. Toss in the leafy parts of the bok choy, stirring for about 2-3 minutes until the leaves wilt, but remain vibrant and tender.
  6. If desired, drizzle 1 teaspoon of sesame oil over the dish, stirring to combine before removing from heat.
  7. Serve immediately, preferably over steamed jasmine rice or noodles.
