1 T. vegetable oil
1 medium red onion, julienne
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 T. chopped ginger

Slice the beef thinly and set aside. Heat a large wok or stock pot with the oil until smoking hot. Add the onions, garlic, and ginger and suate until you can smell the aroma. Keep the mixture moving by mixing so that it does not burn. Add mushrooms and carrots and cook until carrots are crisp tender about 3 minutes. Add the bok choy and the steak and cook just until the bok choy begins to wilt 2 minutes about. Add noodles and stock and bring up to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer. Add oyster sauce, chili paste, sesame oil, orange juice concentrate and soy sauce. Simmer for about 2-3 minutes to bring out the flavors. Serve in large bowls and top with toasted sesame seeds.
