• Cut green onions into 2-inch pieces.
• Mix 2 tablespoons cornstarch and the water.
• Heat wok until 1 or 2 drops of water bubble and skitter when sprinkled in wok.

Steps:

• Combine the beef, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, scallions, half each of the ginger and garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a bowl. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the beef mixture and cook, breaking up the meat, until browned, 5 minutes.
• Add the mushrooms to the skillet; cook, stirring, until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Wipe out the skillet, then heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add the remaining ginger and garlic and cook until golden brown and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes; set aside.
• Bring 4 cups water to a boil in a large pot over high heat. Add the bok choy and ramen noodles along with the reserved ramen flavor packet. Cover and cook, stirring halfway through, until the boy choy is wilted and the noodles are tender, about 4 minutes. Add the beef-mushroom mixture to the pot and toss to combine. Top each serving with the ginger-garlic mixture and the sliced chile.

Steps:

• Cut beef crosswise (across the grain) into 1/4-inch-thick slices, then cut slices into 1/2-inch-wide strips.
• Make marinade and marinate meat:
• Stir together marinade ingredients in a medium bowl until sugar is dissolved.
• Add beef, tossing to coat, and marinate 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• Blanch bok choy:
• Separate bok choy into individual leaves and halve crosswise, keeping stems and leaves separate. Cook stems in a large pot of boiling water 15 seconds, then add leaves and cook 15 seconds more. Drain in a colander, then rinse with cold water to stop cooking and drain well.
• Fry beef:
• Stir together soy sauce, Sherry, and vinegar.
• Heat vegetable oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until a deep-fat thermometer registers 400°F.
• Add beef to hot oil with tongs (discard marinade) and cook, stirring carefully, until slices separate, about 1 minute. Transfer beef with tongs to a colander and drain.
• Stir-fry beef and bok choy:
• Reserve 3 tablespoons oil from skillet and discard remainder. Heat reserved oil in skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then stir-fry garlic and ginger until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add beef, soy mixture, and bok choy and stir-fry until sauce is simmering and mixture is just heated through, about 1 minute. Serve immediately.
