The dish is flavored with a spicy and savory sauce that makes the flavors pop. It is commonly served over rice or noodles and can be customized with different veggies to make it your own.

Instructions

1.	In a small bowl, whisk 1 tablespoon of rice wine, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, and 1 teaspoon of cornstarch until smooth.
2.	In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 teaspoons of canola oil over high heat. Add the sliced steak and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes, until browned. Transfer the steak to a clean plate.
3.	In the same skillet, heat the remaining 2 teaspoons of canola oil over high heat. Add the red pepper flakes and stir-fry for 10 seconds, until fragrant. Add the chopped shrimp and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, until pink and cooked through.
4.	Add the bok choy to the skillet and stir-fry for about 2 minutes, until wilted.
5.	Add the cooked steak back to the skillet, along with the remaining 3 tablespoons of rice wine and 1/2 tablespoon of oyster sauce. Stir-fry for 1 to 2 more minutes, until the sauce has thickened and the bok choy is tender.
